Try a โ€œleaf laceโ€ activity! Punch holes in large leaves (real or printed) and let your child thread yarn through them with a shoelace! Itโ€™s a simple, sensory-rich way to strengthen fine motor coordination and focus, all while enjoying the season.

Hearing from our families means the world to us. This parent shares their experience working with our team and the amazing progress their child has made through therapy.

Every story is a reminder of why we do what we do. To help kids grow, connect, and thrive in every part of life.

Progress looks different for every child, and thatโ€™s something we celebrate! Whether itโ€™s mastering a new skill or growing confidence, our therapists meet kids where they are and build from there. Each session is designed to support progress that lasts well beyond the clinic.

Did you know speech therapy can happen while your child is practicing another skill they love, like chess? Co-treatment sessions combine speech goals with functional activities, helping kids work on communication, turn-taking, problem-solving, and social interaction in a fun, real-world way.

When kids are engaged in something meaningful, therapy feels less like work and more like play, making progress even more powerful.

Did you know October is Dyslexia & Learning Disabilities Awareness Month? Dysgraphia is a writing-specific learning challenge that can cause messy handwriting, spacing issues, or slow writing. Occupational therapy can help kids build hand strength, motor planning, and confidence with writing.
