Through individual assessments and personalized treatment plans, our program ensures personalized support for every child’s development and overall well-being.
Occupational therapy (OT) is a healthcare profession that helps people of all ages participate in the things they want and need to do through therapeutic activities. For children, these “occupations” include playing, learning, and self-care activities.
Pediatric occupational therapy at Brightstars addresses sensory processing, fine motor skills (writing, cutting, buttoning), gross motor skills (balance, coordination), self-care skills (dressing, feeding), and play skills. Our occupational therapists use evidence-based approaches including sensory integration therapy to help children participate fully in daily activities at home, school, and in the community.
Our occupational therapists work on a wide range of skills to support your child’s development and independence.
