Helping children gain independence in the everyday activities that fill their days — play, learning, self-care, and connection.
Occupational therapy enables performance in activities and social participation through occupation. The goal is to help children develop the skills necessary to gain independence with their activities — playing, learning, interacting with others, and self-care.
Our occupational therapists work with children to facilitate development of fine motor, neuromotor, visual motor, and sensory motor skills, assisting them in their day-to-day functions.
Building hand strength and coordination for everyday tasks.
Support for regulating responses to sensory input.
Dressing, feeding, and hygiene independence.
Developing peer interaction and cooperative play.
Planning, organization, and task follow-through.
Strategies for managing big feelings and transitions.
Occupational Therapists (OTs) and Certified Occupational Therapy Assistants (COTAs) at Small Talk work with children and their families to help each child reach their maximum potential to function independently and actively participate at home, school, and in the community.
