Occupational Therapy

Creating independence for all ages by improving skills in meaningful everyday activities.

Difficulty with daily activities is discouraging at any age, and can take a toll on families. Treatment plans from our Occupational Therapy Team foster independence by helping clients improve and own occupations such as dressing, feeding, play, school, and sleep. Our occupational therapists are licensed by the state of California and certified by the National Board of Occupational Therapists, and value lifelong professional development and and learning so that treatment is always based on current research and best practices.

Assessment & Treatment

Struggles with cognition and fine motor skills can create challenges with the activities of daily living, school, and social life. They can discourage individuals from feeling like they can reach their maximum potential. That’s why we begin with a comprehensive assessment to develop a personalized treatment plan to carefully address each individual’s areas of need. Everyone should have the opportunity to grow and develop independence in school, daily, and social life.
