Occupational therapy involves the therapeutic use of occupations—the meaningful, daily activities of a person’s life—to promote health and improve clients’ participation and performance in . . . their occupations—the meaningful, daily activities of a person’s life! With improved performance in an occupation as the end goal, we also use occupations as the means to get there; it’s a large part of the reason it’s so fun!

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.

Check out the services I offer and associated costs, as well as my page on policies, and then send me an email if you think I’d make a good fit for the needs of your child: colorfullyenthused@gmail.com—I can’t wait to hear from you!
