Occupational therapy is a super fun field that combines creativity and science to help people with everyday tasks. We use meaningful daily activities—known as occupations—to improve health and participation in life. Occupations (meaningful daily activities) are used therapeutically as both the means and the outcome to enhance individuals’ performance within the activities of their everyday life.

Here’s a blog post that provides a fuller description of the profession I love!

Maybe you see some areas where your your child could use a boost, but aren’t sure whether or not they’d “qualify” for OT services.

Good news! In the private practice world, qualification isn’t necessary!

Your child does not need a diagnosis in order to benefit from work with an occupational therapist. Diagnoses are often defined by a compilation of specific skill-deficits. Although diagnoses can help us understand some aspects of a person, at The ColorfullyEnthused* Therapy Studio, it’s not about diagnoses or skill deficits.

We view children as whole beings: living, breathing entities who are capable-of-growth! With or without a diagnosis, we meet a child right where they are, identify the things they want or need to do, assess where the breakdown’s occurring, and find a way to help them achieve success.

I specialize in treating children and youth between the ages of 5 and 12, in the areas of visual and fine motor skills, visual spatial skills and visual perception, attention, executive functioning, self care, self-regulation, study skills, stress management, and general mental health.

Although a diagnosis is not necessary to justify the need for treatment, I’ve worked with children of a variety of diagnoses including dysgraphia, developmental coordination disorder, anxiety, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD), autism (ASD), Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, and cognitive impairment.
