OCCUPATIONAL
THERAPY

Occupational therapy is the practice of helping people engage in the activities that they want and need to do throughout the day, known as occupations. For kids, the most important occupations are play and school! Your child might benefit from OT intervention if they have trouble participating in these two important occupations as compared to their same-age peers. Specifically, OT looks at improving and/or maintaining fine motor skills, sensory processing, self-regulation, hand-eye coordination, handwriting, using both hands at once (bilateral coordination), balancing, dressing, feeding themselves, or even paying attention at school.

Blossom PTP-Cassidy (19)_edited.png

A pediatric speech therapist works to assess, diagnose, and treat a variety of disorders and delays that impact a child’s functional communication skills. We work to address what a child is able to say (expressive language) and what they understand (receptive language), as well as how they say sounds and words (articulation/phonology), and so much more! ​There are many reasons why a child may need speech therapy. If you notice that your child is not on par with their peers or developmental milestones for their age, they may benefit from speech therapy!

CONTRACTED SCHOOL/DAYCARE SERVICES

If you currently work with children, you are well aware that there is an educational state of emergency happening in regards to student learning and development. Nearly all schools are overwhelmed with the number of students requiring specialized services, and they are unsure of where to get help. At Blossom, we offer personalized therapy services that meet the needs of your facility to help you meet the needs of your students and families. Whether you are a private or a public school, Blossom practitioners are equipped to help your team navigate the overly complex process of connecting students with services within their county of residence. 

Blossom PTP-Cassidy (19)_edited.png

Not sure exactly what your child or student needs, but you know they need something? You are not alone. Blossom practitioners are able to come to your home, school, or daycare to complete observations of your child or student to determine if evaluation and further connection to services is warranted. Practitioners will also offer tangible, effective ideas on how to best support the child in their natural environment on the same day of observation.
