At Rise and Grow Therapy, we believe every child deserves the chance to thrive in their daily life. Occupational Therapy (OT) helps children build the skills they need for learning, playing, growing, and becoming more independent in everyday activities.

Our therapists use high-quality, evidenced-based practice through play-based, child-led activities to address underlying areas of difficulty, such as:

• Fine motor skills – hand strength and coordination for writing, drawing, using scissors, or self-care tasks like buttoning and feeding.

• Gross motor skills – movement, balance, and coordination to support playground activities, sports, and physical confidence.

• Sensory processing – helping children who are easily overwhelmed (or who seek lots of movement and input) to better regulate and participate in their world.

• Self-care skills – building skills with daily routines such as dressing, hygiene, grooming, bathing, meal prep, and eating.

• Self-regulation skills – practicing strategies to manage emotions, connect with peers, and build relationships.

• Executive functioning skills - planning, organizing, following directions, and problem-solving to support learning and independence.

• Visual processing skills – understanding and interpreting what the eyes see, such as tracking words across a page, recognizing letters, or copying from the board.

• Social participation skills – learning how to join in group play, share, take turns, and build friendships in meaningful ways.
  

Every child and family each have their own, unique journeys that come with each of their own obstacles and barriers. We take pride in tailoring our therapy to align with families' individual strengths, challenges, and perspectives. By working closely with parents alongside their child’s progression in therapy, it allows more opportunity to educate and empower families to use therapeutic strategies outside of therapy. Our goal is to allow more opportunities and tools for children and families to reach their goals within the home, school, and community environments.
