Home-Based Occupational Therapy
Children learn in the context of relationships, and their most influential relationships are the ones they have with their parents.
Let me help you:
Learn about your child's developmental and sensory needs
Show you how to "put yourself in your child's shoes" & more deeply understand their experience in the world
Work collaboratively with your child to build systems that support your everyday life
One service I provide, when appropriate, is the Interoception Awareness curriculum (for ages 5 and older).
If any of the following sound like your child, this curriculum could be beneficial —
Do they struggle to notice when they are hungry?
Do they not realize they need to use the bathroom until it is very urgent, or have frequent accidents?
Do they seem to go from calm to having a BIG emotional response very quickly?
Interoception is our awareness of internal body cues and how they relate to emotions and bodily functions.
I use Kelly Mahler's research-based curriculum to systematically help children learn to recognize and understand their internal feelings. This work is the foundation of self-regulation.
