Occupational Therapy

Infancy

Bringing baby home can be such an exciting time. It can also be a little overwhelming with all the new baby gadgets and gizmos.  Shine Therapy can work with caregivers in order create play spaces and routines that best promote:

​

- motor development

- head shape and head control

- symmetry

- eye hand coordination

- and sensory regulation

Toddler Years 

During the toddler years, children develop many of the foundational skills that later help them be successful in school and life. With all the new and advanced technology in today’s society, it can be difficult to know which toys and activities best support your child’s development . Shine Therapy can work with you to introduce and explore various play activities that allow your child to learn through movement and sensory exploration for improved:

​

- attention

- visual motor skills

- fine motor skills

- balance and coordination

- self-soothing skills

- emotional regulation and frustration tolerance

- and overall healthy lifestyle

Preschool and School Years 

Cutting, drawing, building, pretending, sharing,and dressing are among the many skills children learn during their preschool years.  These are the years your child spends preparing themselves to enter school.  Shine Therapy can assess your child's sensory and motor skills to help you build upon areas of need in ways that keep your child interested and engaged, helping prepare them for their grand entrance into Kindergarten.  We can also help to develop ongoing sensorimotor and fine motor skills as your child progresses through the school years.  These areas may include:

​

- independence with basic self-care routines

- pencil grasp

- handwriting readiness

- cutting, buttoning, stringing, and other bilateral skills

- design replication skills

- ability to engage in shared play with peers

- pretend play skills

- ability to cope with transitions or frustrations

- ability to follow directions and complete tasks 

- and ability to maintain attention to adult-directed tasks and classroom activities
