Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy (OT) is rooted in the basis of enabling all humans access to full participation in desired or required daily occupations through the use of therapeutic activities. A child's main occupations include, activities of daily living (self-care), instrumental activities of daily living (chores), social participation, education, and play. OT uses a play based methodology to encourage participation and successful completion of given goals.

OT Concerns
Yoga classes can be in both an individual or group based setting incorporating your child's overall goals. Kid's yoga can help improve fine and gross motor coordination, strength and endurance, sensory processing, mental health, social interaction, and executive functioning skills.
Swim Therapy/ Swim Lessons
Swim therapy sessions function as a standard occupational therapy session based in the pool. For instance, we would work on fine motor skills, gross motor skills, sensory processing, and motor planning. Swim therapy sessions can be covered by health insurance.
Swim lessons teach children basic swim and breathing techniques needed for swimming independently.
Both swim therapy and swim lessons are 30 minutes long and can be held at our location in Salem, NH or a location of your choice.
