If you are interested in OT for your child at Therapy Service for Children, please email Heidi Hynes at heidi@therapysfc.com and request intake information.

We provide occupational therapy services. The term occupation captures the breadth and meaning of everyday activity. Children have many “occupations” or “jobs” they must engage in each day. Children’s occupations include play, self-care, social interaction, and educational performance. Occupational therapists help children with a skill deficit, illness, disability, or disorder that impacts their successful participation in everyday activities.

We specialize in working with children with a variety of challenges and diagnoses. These include:

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder

  • Sensory Processing Disorder

  • Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

  • Developmental Motor Coordination Disorder/ Dyspraxia

  • Fine motor and gross motor issues (concerns, challenges, delays)

  • Developmental Delays

  • Emotion regulation/self-regulation challenges

  • Challenging behaviors

  • Handwriting remediation needs

  • Learning Disabilities

  • Feeding difficulties, including picky eaters

At Therapy Services for Children, we provide individualized occupational therapy evaluation, treatment, and parent/caregiver education. Treatment sessions are child-centered and fun and promote the development of functional skills. The child’s concerns are valued and addressed from the start. Our client’s strengths and interests are an integral part of treatment planning. We aim to provide parents/caregivers and children with practical recommendations, tools, and strategies to address their everyday challenges.
