Occupational Therapy
Empowering Children Through Play, Movement, and Skill-Building
Abil-OT Kid’s Therapy believes in the power of play as a foundation for learning and growth. Our occupational therapy sessions use fun, engaging activities to strengthen key developmental skills in motor coordination, sensory integration, and social interaction. Our team works closely with each child to build confidence and skills in a nurturing, joyful environment, where progress is achieved through meaningful movement and play.
Strengthening Abilities for Confident, Everyday Success
At Abil-OT Kid’s Therapy, we are dedicated to helping children develop the skills they need to lead fulfilling, independent lives. Our occupational therapy program is carefully crafted to support each child’s unique needs, from improving fine and gross motor skills to enhancing sensory processing and self-care abilities. Through personalized activities and compassionate guidance, we empower children to achieve new milestones, making everyday tasks easier and more enjoyable.
Feeding Therapy: Nourishing Happy Eaters
At Abil-OT Kid's Therapy, we understand that feeding difficulties can be frustrating for both children and parents. Most children go through fussy phases. But, if mealtimes are an ongoing cause of stress, your child may have a feeding problem.
Feeding therapy sessions may be beneficial if your child:
Is a selective eater
Limited or restricted food intake (less than 20 foods)
Eats different meals than your family
Difficulty with a variety of food textures
Gagging while eating
Frequent mealtime battles or meltdowns
Aversion to whole food groups
Is underweight or overweight
Our experienced feeding therapists specialize in a variety of techniques to address a wide range of feeding challenges, including:
Sensory-Based Feeding Therapy: We help children overcome sensory sensitivities to food textures, smells, and tastes. By gradually introducing new foods and textures in a supportive environment, we can help your child expand their food repertoire.
Oral-Motor Feeding Therapy: We address oral-motor skills, such as sucking, chewing, and swallowing, to improve feeding efficiency and reduce choking risks.
Behavioral Feeding Therapy: We use positive reinforcement and behavior modification techniques to address picky eating, food refusal, and other behavioral feeding challenges.
Our goal is to help your child develop healthy eating habits and enjoy mealtime. Through a combination of therapeutic techniques and parent education, we can empower your child to become a confident and happy eater.
Building Skills for Lifelong Independence and Growth
Abil-OT Kid’s Therapy is committed to helping children develop the essential skills they need to navigate daily life with confidence and joy. Our occupational therapy services focus on promoting independence in activities like dressing, eating, and social interaction, empowering children to overcome challenges and experience success. We aim to make every session a positive step toward greater confidence, strength, and resilience in all areas of life.
