Sensory Advantage offers a full complement of specialized occupational therapy services for children from birth to 17 years of age. We offer individualization at every stage as we work to determine the best therapist-child match, setting, and service model to meet your child’s needs.
Evaluation Services: We offer a comprehensive evaluation process. Evaluation may include standardized testing, skilled observation of motor and sensory responses, parent/teacher completed questionnaires/checklists and interview, as well as observation of your child at home, during school, or in the community. Standardized tests include the Beery Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual Motor Integration, 6th edition; the Bruininks Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, 3rd Edition; the Test of Visual Perceptual Skills, 4th edition; the Test of Auditory Processing Skills, 4th edition; the Developmental Eye Movement Test; the Structured Observations of Sensory Integration – Motor; and the Peabody Developmental Motor Scales (please not this is not an exhaustive list).
Individual Therapy: Following our intake and evaluation process, we will match your child and family with a therapist whose professional background and personality best supports your needs. This means your child’s primary evaluating therapist may not be the primary treating therapist. The primary therapist will work with parents and families to provide individual therapy sessions within the child’s daily routine. We make therapy fun, letting the child’s interest and involvement guide our treatment planning.
Small Group Therapy: There are times when working with peers in a small group setting provides advantages that aren’t afforded in individual therapy. Children are often motivated to try and do things that their peers are doing. We provide small group sessions that focus on non-competitive, cooperative activities. This approach will not only work on improving the targeted skill area, but it also addresses social skills including positive communication and teamwork.
Sibling Sessions: Siblings can be included in sessions to promote positive and supportive interactions through sensory and exploratory play.
