Occupational therapy services through My Recess are designed to the specific needs of your child and your family.

Occupational therapy focuses on your child’s OCCUPATIONS, including being a student, friend, and family member. These are your child’s “jobs” or occupations, and through Occupational Therapy we work to identify and support areas that may be impacting your child’s full potential in these roles.

Through an Occupational Therapy Evaluation, we will explore the following through play, observation, parent reports, and standardized testing:

 

  • Development
  • Fine and Gross Motor Development and Milestones
  • Sensory Processing Skills
  • Attention to Task
  • Emotional Regulation
  • Social Awareness
  • Safety and Impulses

Each session is mindfully designed with a foundation of FUN. Based on treatment goals determined through an initial evaluation and discussion with the family, services are provided in a variety of settings and modalities.
