Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy at Synergy Healthcare for Kids looks like a lot of play. Through therapeutic play, children develop their capacity to improve their independent functioning. These skills are necessary for a child to thrive at home, at school, and in the community. Our goal is to help your child function better physically, emotionally, academically, and socially in his or her daily routines. Playful interactions with therapists and other children in the sensory gym are the perfect context for developing these skills.

Our occupational therapists utilize their unique skill sets to assess the child’s needs through standardized evaluations, clinical observations, and parent interviews. They assess the following domains:

– Developmental Milestones

– Fine Motor Skills

– Visual Motor Skills

– Visual Perceptual Skills

– Motor Planning & Coordination

– Oral Motor Skills

– Sensory Processing

– Executive Functioning

– Self-Care / Life Skills

– Cognitive Skills

– Play Skills
