Flourishing Lives

Flourishing Lives We help kids and families flourish through dedicated, child-led occupational and speech therapy. THERAPEUTIC FUN: We use therapy, disguised as play.

Our team empowers children to reach their full potential, focusing on individual strengths and goals in a nurturing environment for lasting growth. At Flourishing Lives we use play to develop gross motor skills, fine motor skills, and challenge our patients to adapt to an ever-changing sensory environment. We help them process things that they don't understand and cannot communicate. Trauma, anxiety, sensory aversion, or any kind of problem that is hindering a patient's daily life can be greatly improved with a highly trained occupational therapist, who can help them process things on a physical level that they may not be able to understand on an emotional level. A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF OUR UNIQUE OT TREATMENT APPROACH

TRUST: We build a safe therapeutic relationship with the patient and their family to facilitate open communication at the clinic and at home. EMPOWERMENT: We use patient driven, therapist guided activities to empower patients to take responsibility for their healing while we develop the patient's ability to process sensory input. In this positive environment, we are able to get to the root of the problem with less resistance from the patient. Flourishing Lives was established as Sensory Systems Clinic by Sandra Glovak, OTR/L in 1982.

🧠 What Should You Look for in a Therapist for Your Child?

At Flourishing Lives, therapy is more than just structured sessions, it’s connection, play, and growth. 🌱

We believe in child-led, therapist-guided therapy, where your child explores through play and our therapists skillfully guide each moment toward meaningful goals like communication, confidence, and regulation. 💬💙

Our Occupational and Speech Therapists work together to help your child build the skills they need emotionally, socially, and developmentally, through care that feels natural and fun.

If you’re looking for therapy that meets your child where they are and helps them thrive…

🧩 Every child deserves the right sensory support to thrive at school.

From bright lights to noisy classrooms, school can feel overwhelming for kids with sensory or communication challenges. That’s why collaboration between parents, teachers, and therapists makes all the difference. 💙

At Flourishing Lives, our Occupational and Speech Therapists help families and schools create supportive strategies like sensory breaks, movement opportunities, and communication tools that make learning more successful and less stressful.

Together, we can help your child feel calm, focused, and confident in the classroom.

🌟Representing Flourishing Lives at the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Summit today!

💬 “Will using a communication device stop my child from talking?”

The answer is no. Research shows that AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) supports language development and often encourages speech rather than replacing it. 🧠✨

AAC gives children a voice while their verbal language skills continue to grow. When kids can communicate, they feel heard, connected, and far less frustrated, which helps language and confidence bloom. 💛

At Flourishing Lives, our Speech and Occupational Therapists work together to support every child’s communication, sensory, and developmental needs through personalized, play-based approaches.

If your child struggles to express their needs, we’re here to help them find their voice.

🌿 Sometimes, all a child needs is the right kind of gentle movement, or the right kind of communication support, to help their body and mind feel calm and balanced.

At Flourishing Lives, our occupational and speech therapists work together to create sensory and communication experiences that help children regulate emotions, improve focus, and engage confidently in daily life. 🧠✨

From calming sensory input with tools like the Oscillation Table to playful speech and language strategies, we help each child feel grounded, connected, and understood, inside and out. 💙
