Occupational Therapy Services at The Parent TRAIN
At The Parent TRAIN, our Occupational Therapy (OT) services help children develop the skills they need to participate successfully at home, in school, and in their community. We take a whole-child approach, addressing not only fine and gross motor development, but also sensory processing, emotional regulation, executive functioning, and daily living skills.

-
Handwriting and pencil grasp
-
Scissor skills

Coloring and drawing

Buttoning, zipping, and dressing
-
Feeding and utensil use
-
Keyboarding and technology access
Gross Motor Development
We support the development of larger muscle groups that help children move confidently and safely through their environment, including:
-
Balance and coordination
-
Strength and endurance

Body awareness

Sensory seeking behaviors
-
Challenges with transitions and routines
-
Self-regulation throughout the day
Through individualized sensory strategies, we help children feel more comfortable, organized, and successful in daily activities.

Identifying and expressing emotions
-
Coping with frustration and anxiety
-
Developing self-calming strategies
