Our interdisciplinary team supports families with children (0-3 years) who have or are at risk for developmental delays or disorders with a dyadic relationship-based approach.

We employ parent support, coaching and education, and, as needed, direct work with children. While attending to all domains of development, the OT focuses on motor, feeding and sensory integration aspects of the child’s treatment plan. We are committed to clinical excellence, collaboration, and the process of continual learning. You will be supported by a collaborative, supportive team, participate in weekly team meetings and monthly discipline specific meetings and staff meetings, and weekly reflective supervision.
