CTI is a therapist owned pediatric Occupational Therapy clinic that provides evaluation and treatment for children ages birth to adolescence. CTI provides a wide variety of services to our pediatric clients and their families. Goals are individualized for each client, but the aim for all is to improve children's abilities for the 'occupations' of school, play, and family life. At CTI we value relationships, support, and quality in a fun environment. When we work together we learn from each other, which is in turn energizing. We are a joyful place that cares for our kids and families like they are one of our own. It is no accident that our team is great as not only do we encourage each other's growth, we encourage creativity and innovation to make our place like no other.

🌈✨ Rainbow Clip Beads in action! ✨🌈

Balance + coordination + focus all in one fun activity!

This kiddo worked hard walking across the balance beam while carefully carrying marbles to sort by color β€” building motor planning, visual-motor skills, and dynamic balance along the way. πŸ’ͺ

Then we took it to the floor in prone to strengthen that core (hello shoulder stability + postural control πŸ‘) before creating a beautiful rainbow masterpiece at the end! 🌈

Play with purpose. Strength through fun. ❀️

Side by side, swing by swing 🀍

In pediatric occupational therapy, it’s not just about play β€” it’s about building balance, core strength, coordination, confidence, and friendships along the way.

Because sometimes the best growth happens right next to a friend. πŸ’«
