Occupational Therapy
Occupational Therapy supports our children in unlocking and identifying the tools necessary to succeed in their occupation. A child’s occupation is centered around enhancing and developing play skills, developmental milestones, fine and gross motor skills, feeding and mealtime routines, daily living skills and regulating our sensory systems, all beautiful parts of being a child.
Through utilizing methods that are as unique as each child, our team understands the importance of our sensory system in building a strong foundation to aid in each child’s overall learning and development as a whole. It is with this strong foundation that we are able to scaffold and create higher-level learning opportunities within the home, center, classroom and community around us.

Currently, Somewhere Over the Spectrum is able to offer Occupational Therapy services to clients enrolled within our intensive ABA-based programs; we hope to be able to expand this in the near future to have a greater reach within our community. Our OT’s provide 1:1 services within our center and work closely with your child’s team to recommend and build a sensory diet and recommendations for their clinic, home or community-based services to support their sensory system and overall learning. In addition, our OT’s will support your family in the carryover and integration of your child's programming for use in the home with everyday and readily available materials.
