Therapy Zone 4 Kidz is a pediatric therapy clinic that works with children who have motor skill delays (visual, fine, and gross motor), hypotonia, dyspraxia, sensory processing disorders, attention deficit disorders, autism spectrum disorder, and trouble with social and play skills. Our experienced staff of occupational therapists work closely with children, parents, teachers, and other professionals to gain a fuller understanding of each child’s challenges. Therapists are trained to administer and interpret a variety of tests and measures to develop an individualized treatment plan. We use a team approach so that skills and progress can be generalized across environments. Our goal is to help children develop both skills and confidence for successful participation in their daily roles, including play, school, and self-care. We use a play-based, child-centered approach to provide children with the “just right challenge” that elicits motivation while also improving foundational skills. Activities performed during treatment sessions embrace the concept of play while addressing a child’s therapy goals. There have been a multitude of studies providing evidence to support goal directed therapy in improving a child’s function. Each therapy session is tailored to a child’s unique interests and individual strengths and challenges. We take special care to develop child-therapist rapport so that the child feels safe and willing to take increased risks. Successful therapy also requires dedication from family and caregivers.
