How we can help
If your child has been diagnosed with a developmental delay, autism, ADHD, or has other unique needs, we can assist you! Occupational therapists work with children and their families to address difficulties with motor skills, sensory integration, social skills, executive functioning, feeding, and participation in activities of daily living.
At The Link, we strive to serve children and their families by providing occupational therapy, parent/teacher training, and consultation services within the home or school environment. We hope to help children make “The Link” between therapy and school in order for them to have a successful experience in the classroom.
Our Main Areas of Expertise
Developmental Delays
When a little one is not
meeting milestones as expected, they may require specialized evaluation and care
to determine the underlying issues that are preventing them from accomplishing these goals.
Holding their pencil or toys correctly, jumping and running, or not eating as expected can all
be addressed by us.
Autism
If your child has been diagnosed with autism, you may be worried
or confused about how to help them navigate areas of concern such as school behaviors & participation, making friends, managing their emotions, or facing sensory integration difficulties.
OT can help!
ADHD
Our clients with ADHD benefit from strategies to promote sustained attention to tasks, chunking large tasks into smaller pieces, visual schedules or checklists, and assistance with activities of daily living. We can evaluate and create a plan for your child.
Feeding therapy
For parents who describe their child as a “picky” eater, we can help determine if there is a sensory issue, oral motor difficulty, or other factors that impact their ability to engage with food in a meaningful way. Our experience with direct and consulataion based feeding therapy may benefit your child and improve the meal time experience for your family.
Our Services
Occupational therapists address the skills that many of us take for granted such as buttoning your shirt, holding a pencil, cutting with scissors, or playing with friends. The areas we evaluate and treat include but are not limited to:
Fine motor and gross motor skills - writing/coloring, manipulating fasteners, running, jumping, etc.
Social skills including emotional regulation, turn taking, and social reciprocity
Visual perception and visual motor skills such as identifying shapes, letters, numbers, doing puzzles, catching or kicking a ball
