Occupational Therapy Services
Home based OT Services
Playtime Therapy provides home-based pediatric occupational therapy services to children within the comfort of their homes. This approach allows therapists to work directly with your child in their natural environment, while addressing specific developmental or functional challenges they may be facing.
At Playtime Therapy, we believe that therapy should be as enjoyable as it is effective. Through personalized sessions tailored to your child's needs, we create an engaging atmosphere where learning becomes an adventure. With a focus on evidence-based practices and individualized care, our therapists work closely with each child to achieve meaningful progress and lasting results.
Here are some benefits of Playtime Therapy's home-based approach:
Family Involvement: Family involvement is crucial in supporting a child's progress outside of therapy sessions. By conducting sessions in the home, therapists can actively involve parents and caregivers in the therapeutic process, providing them with education, guidance, and strategies to support their child's development on a daily basis.
Comfort and Convenience: Many children feel more relaxed and comfortable in their own homes, which can facilitate greater participation and progress during therapy sessions. Additionally, home-based therapy eliminates the need for families to travel to appointments, making therapy more convenient for busy schedules. We can also plan sessions during play dates or at your child’s favorite park or playground.
Overall, home-based pediatric occupational therapy aims to support children in developing the skills they need to participate fully in daily activities, achieve developmental milestones, and lead meaningful lives. It offers the advantage of individualized attention in a familiar and comfortable environment, promoting optimal learning and progress.
School based OT services
Our occupational therapists specialize in supporting students success and independence in the school or daycare environment.
We work with children of all ages and disabilities. Concerns may relate to self-regulation, sensory processing, self-care, fine motor skills, handwriting, gross motor skills, play skills, utensil management, feeding, visual motor skills, social participation, and executive functioning.
Here’s how we can help!
Functional Assessments: We conduct comprehensive assessments to evaluate students’ abilities in activities of daily living, fine motor skills, sensory processing, and other areas impacting school participation.
Individualized Interventions: Based on assessment results, using our expertise in play-based therapy and sensory integration techniques, we design individualized interventions that engage children in meaningful activities and enhance students’ independence and participation in academic, social, and recreational activities.
Collaboration with School Teams: We work closely with teachers, parents, and school staff to support your child’s needs and goals. Through collaboration, we ensure that our interventions seamlessly integrate into the school day.
Therapeutic Interventions: We provide direct 1:1 services. From sensory play stations to fine motor skill games, each activity is carefully chosen to target specific goals while keeping children engaged and motivated.
Education and Training: We educate school staff, parents, and caregivers on strategies to support your child’s progress and promote skill development both at school and at home.
Progress Monitoring: Therapists regularly monitor the child's progress toward achieving their goals and adjust the intervention plan as needed. This may involve re-assessing skills, modifying strategies, or introducing new techniques to address emerging needs.
