The Lark Center's occupational therapists (OTs) are experts in child development, especially in the areas of neurological, sensory, motor, emotional, and cognitive functioning.
They are also experts in understanding an individuals full context and identifying the supports, barriers, accommodations, modifications, and learning strategies that impact their daily function and ability to meet their goals.
Our occupational therapists use a dual-pronged approach to increasing a child's function and sense of wellbeing. 1) help the client to achieve more of their desired skill through individualized and targeted interventions, and 2) empower the client to make changes to the environment that will allow for more success given their current level of skill.
Our OTs offer traditional individual occupational therapy sessions focused on improving sensory awareness, sensory and emotional regulation, body awareness, motor coordination, physical strength and endurance, visual skills, ADLs (feeding, toileting, dressing, sleeping, etc.) and executive functioning. They also offer a variety of occupational-therapy based groups to help clients practice their skills with peers, in a socially supportive and motivating context.
