What is Occupational Therapy?
In our world, “occupations” refers to meaningful activities. There are many things that might impact you or your child’s ability to access the activities that are meaningful to you. For an adult this might mean support after a late in life diagnosis of Autism or sensory processing disorder. For children this might mean support with motor skills, impulse control, emotional regulation, or sensory processing disorder. Occupational therapy can help in many ways, including strengthening weak skills, teaching new skills, helping adapt activities or the environment to make it accessible, or assisting with advocating for support within your environment.
What is a therapy room?
The therapy room is a vital place to safely “try-on” new ideas, move your body, and explore a variety of sensory experiences in a therapeutic way. The therapy room can be described as a large room with multi-sensory equipment, such as swings, climbing equipment, weights, trampoline, tactile bins, and more. Our space is designed with regulation in mind.
