Pediatric OT Solutions in Westchester County
The buttons are still a battle. The pencil grip has not clicked. Birthday parties end in tears and nobody can tell you why. You are not imagining any of it. Occupational therapy helps children build the skills they need to take part in everyday life at home, at school and in the community, through play based treatment shaped around each child's own goals. Our occupational therapists see newborns through young adults in Port Chester and Mt Kisco, and they work closely with families and with the other professionals already in your child's life.
Three places occupational therapy makes the difference.
Fine Motor Delays
Buttons, zippers, scissors, pencil grip and handwriting. The small hand skills that decide how independent a child feels at school and at home.
Sensory Processing
When noise, texture, movement or crowds land too hard or not hard enough. We build tolerance and regulation so ordinary days stop costing so much.
Motor Planning & Executive Functioning
Knowing what to do and still not being able to start it. Sequencing, organizing and following through on a task with more than one step.
What occupational therapy in Port Chester and Mt Kisco looks like.
Occupational therapy is a different license track from physical therapy, and it asks a different question. Not just can your child move, but can your child do the thing: get dressed, hold the pencil, sit through circle time, finish the worksheet, tolerate the birthday party. Treatment is individualized and play based, and the plan is built with you rather than handed to you, because the skill has to work in your kitchen and your child's classroom, not only in our gym. Our occupational therapists work with ADHD and attention, autism spectrum disorder, developmental coordination disorder and motor coordination, developmental delays, dysgraphia and handwriting, executive functioning skills, fine motor skills, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, physical disabilities, traumatic brain injury, high tone and low tone, learning difficulties, reflex integration, regulation and social emotional skills, self care abilities such as dressing, feeding and toileting, sensory processing, visual motor integration and visual perceptual skills.
