Childrens Occupational Therapy Services.

Occupational therapy (OT) uses the word “occupation” to describe all things we do during the day to occupy our time. For children and adolescents, this includes play, social skills, school, work, behavior, and self-care skills.  Our occupational therapists at CTS help children to develop the fundamental skills needed for learning and performing these daily tasks.  We help children gain independence with life skills such as socialization, self-care, healthy behavior, sensory motor, fine motor, and visual motor which are needed to participate fully and successfully in school and social situations.  

Pediatric occupational therapy helps children gain independence with life skills such as socialization, self-care skills, healthy behavior, sensory motor skills, fine motor skills, and visual motor skills. These skills are needed for children to participate fully and successfully in school and social situations.

​Getting your child started with OT

Once you have received a referral for occupational therapy, and contacted our office for an appointment, you will be scheduled for an evaluation.    An evaluation is a specific dedicated time for your therapist to take a comprehensive look at your child and assess fine motor and postural strength, motor planning and coordination, sensory organization, self regulation and visual perception. This is also an opportunity for you, as the parent, to have undivided time allowing for communication of  your concerns and ensuring that together we customize a plan of care addressing all your child's needs. If it is determined, at that time, that your child can benefit from occupational therapy, we will help access insurance coverage and set you up with appointments around your schedule.
