There’s been a lot of chatter lately about occupational therapy for children, and I know it can feel confusing. What can OT really do for your child?
Occupational therapy supports kids with things like:
• Sensory sensitivities (clothing, noise, textures)
• Big emotional reactions or difficulty with regulation
• Fine motor skills (handwriting, cutting, buttons, zippers)
• Attention and focus challenges
• Picky eating or feeding concerns
• Coordination and body awareness
• Difficulty with transitions or daily routines
I’ve put together a list of common “red flags” that might indicate a child could benefit from OT support. If you’re curious or would like to talk through your specific concerns, we’ll be offering free phone consultations to help you determine next steps — no pressure, just support.

If you’re currently on our waitlist, keep an eye out — we’ll be calling in the next few weeks to schedule evaluations.

We plan to reopen as normal once conditions improve. Thank you for your understanding — stay safe and warm! ❄️

This week we’re extra thankful for little hands learning big skills. Play helps kiddos build the strength, coordination, and confidence they need for everyday independence — and the holidays offer so many fun opportunities! Wishing you a warm, safe, and gratitude-filled Thanksgiving! 🧡🦃🍂

We’re excited to share that we’ve added another food resource for our community! A food blessing box is now available on the front porch of the clinic. Please help spread the word and, if you’re able, help us keep it stocked for those in need.

We love getting amazing reviews like this because it truly reflects our team! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Mrs. Kelsey was my daughters food therapist from the beginning of May until today, when my daughter "graduated" from FT. I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. She is the most kindhearted, gentle and dedicated person. I am EXTREMELY thankful for all the effort and love she poured into my daughter, Georgia. Seeing how much my little girl has accomplished and progressed under Mrs. Kelsey's guidance has been amazing. We love her dearly and will miss her! The facility is very clean, always sterilized between patients and have a great team of staff. THIS is the place to go! 10/10!!"

🍪 Chocolate Chip Cookie Therapy Time! 🍪

This week in OT, Ms. Tamika baked up some sweet success with a chocolate chip cookie-themed session! 😋 The kids had a blast while working on:

✨ Oral Motor Skills – blowing on pretend hot cookies & tasting textures
🧠 Impulse Control – waiting their turn to “eat” the cookie
🖐️ Fine Motor Skills – scooping, pouring, pinching dough and placing chips
🌈 Sensory Processing – exploring textures, smells, and temperatures
💚 Self-Regulation – calming techniques during cookie cooldown time

So much skill-building wrapped up in one delicious activity — and the smiles said it all! 🍪💪
