Occupational Therapy
Discover the Benefits of OT With Nurture Collective
At Nurture Collective, our Occupational Therapists understand that children learn through play. Whether addressing feeding challenges, sensory processing difficulties, motor delays or other concerns, we create a nurturing space where kids feel comfortable exploring their interests and abilities at their own pace.
What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational therapy, also known as OT, focuses on helping children develop the skills needed for daily activities and tasks. Licensed Occupational Therapists (OTs) work with children to improve their ability to play, learn, and fully participate in school and home life. Our OT team specializes in pediatric services to support kids’ physical, cognitive, sensory, and emotional development through tailored interventions.
How Can OT Help Your Child?
At Nurture Collective, we take a holistic approach to understand each child fully before creating an individualized treatment plan. Our OT evaluations provide deep insights into areas like:
- Sensory processing: How the body receives and responds to different sensory inputs
- Fine motor skills: Grasping, scribbling, cutting with scissors
- Gross motor skills: Walking, running, jumping, coordination
- Self-care skills: Dressing, feeding, brushing teeth
- Play skills: Appropriate toy use, imagination, social interaction
Whether a child struggles with feeding, following routines, regulation of emotions, or activity level, OT practices support independent living skills through fun, engaging sessions. We apply strategies shown to have long-term benefits for academic achievement, behavior management, and overall well-being.
