My Kids Therapy blends sensory integration, developmental psychology,
and Floortime-based therapy approaches to provide individualized treatment. Our
highly trained therapists provide a welcoming environment where clients can
explore and grow. During the evaluation process, therapists work to understand
clients’ nervous system and their ability to process a wide variety of information
from the environment. Clients’ strengths, areas of need, and individual differences
are incorporated to develop purposeful and goal-directed activities. We believe
providing education to parents and caregivers enables them to actively participate
in the treatment process, which further increases client’s independence across all
environments and social situations.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy (OT) focuses on supporting individuals’ engagement in life
and their daily activities or occupations. In pediatrics these occupations include
play, leisure, school, social participation, and self-care (e.g. dressing, eating,
toileting, personal hygiene). Occupational therapists use a whole-person approach
to evaluation and treatment, which enables them to identify and address underlying
or foundational skills needed to fully participate in these daily activities.
At My Kids Therapy we focus on helping the child’s nervous system improve
sensory, visual-perceptual, motor, cognitive, social, and emotional skills and apply
these in all environments (home, school, community, etc.). During treatment, play-
based activities are utilized to facilitate the development of skills, confidence, and
independence. Our occupational therapists design activities that capitalize on the
child’s strengths and provide the “just right challenge” to promote skill development
and mastery.
