#1 Most Effective Occupational Therapy

What Is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational Therapy helps children improve their everyday functioning by increasing their independence in their daily “occupations”. A child’s occupations are any activities that may occupy their time throughout their day (such as dressing, grooming/hygiene, play skills, feeding etc.)

What Does A Pediatric Occupational Therapy Session Look Like?

During an occupational therapy session, a therapist will utilize fun, purposeful, and goal-directed activities to help foster skills and promote growth and development. Play-based methods are used to facilitate opportunities to advance everyday function to optimal levels and encourage independence and confidence in everyday occupations.

How Can Occupational Therapy Complement My Child’s Other Services (Such As Speech Therapy)?

Occupational Therapy/ Multidisciplinary treatment and support is beneficial to your child’s overall development. An occupational therapist can work with speech therapists (and other disciplines) during and outside of sessions to support your child’s overall sensory processing, self-regulation, and attention skills, which are baseline skills a child needs to access higher cognitive functioning in their brain. An occupational therapist can also provide suggestions on specific therapeutic games or activities during sessions that may help your child remain alert, regulated, and attentive during sessions and structured tasks.

Top 10 Ways To Know If Your Child may need an Occupational Therapy evaluation:

If your child is struggling to complete their activities of daily living due to:

- Overall weakness
- Difficulty coordinating big body movements/balance or movements of fingers and hands
- Struggles with drawing or handwriting
- Challenges with age-appropriate self-care tasks such as dressing, self-feeding, oral hygiene etc.
- Difficulty sitting still to complete structured tasks
- Picky eating
- Challenges with body and/or safety awareness
- Dislikes messy play or being dirty
- Difficulty with play skills
- Struggles with emotional regulation/organization of behavior

What If You Are Having Concerns And Your Child Might Need An Occupational Therapy (OT) Evaluation?

A comprehensive evaluation will be provided to assess your child’s current level of functioning within their daily occupations of play, self-help tasks and more. A caregiver’s input and concerns are also instrumental in the assessment of your child’s skill levels. If your child is demonstrating delays, ongoing OT services will be recommended to help in addressing your child’s needs. Concrete goals will be created to provide an opportunity to track progress throughout Occupational Therapy treatment.

Client Testimonials

We absolutely love Fox Therapy Services and we are so glad we found Jessie! After trying several other Speech Therapists we were feeling frustrated and a bit lost. Our son is 4 & I wanted him to be able to receive the help and tools he needs while still having fun in the process. Jessie as an awesome ability to make Speech Therapy enjoyable for him. He looks forward to going every week and we have seen him make amazing progress. Jessie is very knowledgeable in Speech Pathology, yet talks to me mom-to-mom, which I so appreciate. We would definitely recommend Jessie & Fox Therapy Services!

I cannot say enough about Fox Speech Services! We worked with Ms Stefanie. My daughter was extremely speech delayed. We had been at another independent therapist and I just felt that they were misdiagnosing her. Luckily, due to a change in health insurance and through the referral of our pre-school, we enrolled with Ms Stefanie and the rest is history. My daughter has fully developed in her verbal communication and is now confident in herself because she can articulate. We recommend this place all the time.

Jessie is literally a miracle worker. I am one of her older patients, so I was not sure how much work could actually be done for someone who wasn't a child. But wow. In 3 months time Jessie worked so hard with me and boy did it pay off. She helped my speech and now I can barely hear my previous sharpness in speech. And it doesn't hurt that she is also a lovely, gregarious, kind woman. Go see Jessie, she knows what she's doing!!!!
