Pediatric Occupational Therapy

LEARN & GROW THROUGH PLAY!

At Nourished Roots, OT treatment is both play-based and goal-centered, ensuring focus on the unique needs of each child and their family. Play is a child’s main “occupation” or meaningful activity, which allows them to express themselves naturally and develop essential skills in a comfortable environment.

The play-based activities utilized during therapy sessions are not only enjoyable for children but also strategically selected to target developmental milestones and functional outcomes. This integration of play with structured goals supports a child's overall growth and enhances their ability to navigate various environments effectively. Ultimately, the comprehensive nature of these therapy services empowers families and fosters a supportive framework for children's development.
