We are a child-centered pediatric clinic offering Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, and Physical Therapy services. Pediatric Occupational Therapy is a profession concerned with promoting a child's health and well-being through occupation. A child's occupation is to learn, grow, develop, and to play!
Therapeutic activities may include physical play such as jumping, climbing and fine motor tasks such as buttoning, getting dressed, feeding, and writing. Some children have difficulty meeting their age appropriate developmental skills, and may need some help to achieve these skills that propel them into adulthood.

Executive Functions and Self-Regulation
Report
Executive functions are the decision-making and planning processes that are invoked at the onset of a task and in the face of a novel challenge. Fundamentally, they are directly involved with inhibition, working memory, and motor planning. Executive functions are involved in defining and solving the problem at hand, which requires inhibition and impulse control to analyze and plan before acting.

These skills are required for dressing, writing, coloring, cutting, playing with toys, feeding, etc. Children who are experiencing difficulties with fine motor skills may present with difficulty with or avoidance of any of these tasks, impacting their participation in age-appropriate activities.
