What to Expect…

Individualized Care

One of the major benefits of private practice occupational therapy services is that of time and dedication of creating individualized treatment plans.

Each plan of care is designed with collaboration from caregiver concerns/priorities, baby’s problem list, and family roles/routines so treatment methods are able to be consistently implemented for optimal progress.

Occupation Based Intervention

Occupations are all the meaningful activities that are completed on a daily basis. For babies that includes eating, sleep, and play (ADLs). When one of those tasks is difficult it leads to dysregulation and impacts ability to participate in other daily living skills so any or all of these might be targeted in therapy.
