OT Arts

The OT Arts clinic serves children 2-13 years old in Santa Barbara that have fine motor, self-help,

OT Arts is an innovative pediatric occupational therapy clinic that helps children ages 2-13 learn skills to maximize their independence while having fun and expressing themselves. OT Arts combines traditional occupational therapy techniques (such as incorporating activities that are meaningful to the child into the therapy session and task analysis used to break down activities into their component parts) and sensory integration (a neurological approach that uses gross motor movement against resistance activities to help children better focus and attend) with novel approaches such as creative self-expression (using activities such as drawing, painting and arts and crafts to help increase engagement and work on underlying skills such as sequencing). This unique approach ensures that children get the maximum benefit from therapy as they enjoy themselves while making progress in a positive, welcoming and low-stress environment. As both an artist and an occupational therapist, I am passionate about combining my two loves to better serve children.

It’s National Hobby Month! 🎨🐾🌿

In occupational therapy, occupations are the meaningful activities that bring joy and purpose to our daily lives. Not only is exploring hobbies fun, it supports creativity, regulation, connection, and wellbeing.

Lisa practices what she teaches! She’s a nature enthusiast, animal lover, hiker, and artist who knows firsthand how meaningful activities help us feel our best. These same passions inspire the way she supports children in discovering their own interests through play and participation.
