Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy (OT) helps people of all ages to function as independently as possible given their situation. OTs use daily activities (occupations) as therapeutic modalities. The occupation of children is play–that’s why children love coming to therapy at Way to Grow!

Using therapeutic activities, games and equipment, our practitioners help children build skills, calm their nervous systems, develop better self-esteem and gain confidence. Better quality of life for the child and for the whole family. 

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy services typically include:

  • an individualized evaluation to identify strengths and needs and gather history and current information from the child, the family, school personnel and other members of the child’s medical and therapy team (if any).
  • a customized intervention plan which identifies outcomes and goals and what strategies or interventions will be used to reach those goals.
  • ongoing and periodic reassessment to measure progress, ensure that goals are being met and/or make changes to the intervention plan. 

OT focuses on building skills and adapting the environment and/or the task to support your child’s success. Often, at the beginning of the process, we put in place many supports for your child, to decrease frustration and promote success. As your child gains skills, we will reduce the level of support gradually as your child becomes more and more independent. 

OT is an evidence-based practice deeply rooted in science. In our practice, we use our training in anatomy and physiology of all body systems, human growth and development (both normal and abnormal), task analysis (which allows us to determine what skills any given activity will require and develop), and an extensive knowledge of play and its relationship to learning. We collaborate with our speech language therapists and co-treatment is available.   

Our goal is to maximize independent function, enhance development and minimize disability.

Debbie S.

I am certain that without you, he would still be labeled as a “struggling learner” and miserable and struggling in social situations. To say that we are grateful doesn’t seem enough.

Leslie P.

Your confidence in the treatments your practice offers went a long way toward our decision to bring our son to Way to Grow.

Henry B.

There are no words to convey what you have done for our son.

Ellen K.

You have been so patient and sweet (like fudge!) to our daughter. I don’t tell you enough how grateful I am to you for all of your hard work and wise advice.

Cathy A.

You have accomplished unimaginable success with both our boys. I don’t know what we would have done without you. Your wisdom and guidance has been a gift to me that I will always cherish.

Adrian P.

The team really understood trauma and attachment and they were there to be supportive. Barbara has proven to be a wealth of information on so many levels and she is constantly sharing her knowledge to help me understand my daughter better and how her nervous system works. It's obvious that this is her passion.

Katie J.

At Way to Grow, I truly feel like I am a part of my daughter's team. From the very first consultation, I knew they took my concerns seriously. They took her history, listened to everything we were dealing with, and looked at the whole picture.

Erika R.

Whenever there is a new challenge, my therapist always has an idea of where to start and the best way to approach it. I love that I not only know what we're working on at the moment and why, but I know where we are trying to go and how we plan to get there.

Robert H.

At Way to Grow, they have a great way of taking the goals we are working on at the clinic and making them easily accessible at home so we can work on things more than just once a week.

Erika R.

It brings me comfort knowing that Barbara and the Way to Grow team work collaboratively. If for some reason Barbara is out of the office, I have no problem seeing another therapist because I know that they communicate and whoever is stepping in knows exactly what we're working on and why and is aware of the nuances that make therapy sessions successful for my daughter.

Sam V.

We have had nothing but positive experiences with each and every person we've worked with at Way to Grow. I feel like my daughter is treated less like a patient and more like a member of their family.
