Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy helps children participate in daily life activities, such as feeding and dressing themselves, interacting and playing with other children, and can lead to better academic outcomes.
At Extraordinary Kids, we use targeted, proven interventions to help children develop age-appropriate motor skills, meet their developmental milestones, and increase the neuroplasticity of the brain. Our sensory-integration approach, based on the research of Dr.Jean Ayers, helps our patients to process and respond to sensory information in their environment.
