About occupational therapy at Joy Therapy

Occupational therapy at our practice addresses the skills underneath a child's everyday activities: fine motor control, sensory processing, motor planning, visual perception, and the self-care tasks of dressing, eating, bathing and toileting. Sessions are active and play-based, because a child who is engaged produces far more repetitions of a difficult movement than a child being asked to comply.

Parents are partners in every service we provide. You are welcome in sessions, and you should expect to leave with something specific to continue at home rather than a general instruction to practice more.
