Our Approach
At Whole Child Pediatric, our team of experienced occupational therapists is dedicated to supporting children with a wide range of needs, including challenges associated with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), intellectual disabilities, dyslexia, emotional regulation difficulties, anxiety, depression, stress, and other child development disorders.
Our approach is rooted in a relational framework, prioritizing genuine connection and building trust with each child and their family. We emphasize play-based interventions, as play is a child’s primary occupation and the foundation for learning, growth, and engagement. By creating safe, supportive, and enjoyable environments, we foster curiosity, confidence, and skill development in ways that are meaningful to each child.
Our process is neurodivergent affirming, celebrating each child’s unique strengths and ways of processing the world. We also take into account different language processing styles, including gestalt language processing, to ensure our interventions align with the child’s natural way of learning and communicating.
Our Service Approach
Bottom-Up Neurodevelopmental Framework: We focus on building strong foundational skills by addressing the body and brain’s lower-level systems—such as sensory processing, reflex integration, and emotional regulation—before working toward higher-level cognitive and behavioral goals. This approach supports children in developing regulation, motor skills, and attention for meaningful participation in daily tasks.
Person-Environment-Occupation (PEO) Model: By considering the dynamic interaction between the child (person), their activities (occupation), and their environment, our therapists provide tailored interventions. We meet children where they are, modify environments when needed, and help them thrive in meaningful occupations, such as play, school participation, and social connection.
Relational and Play-Based Interventions: We believe that strong therapeutic relationships are at the core of successful intervention. Through connection, trust, and playful engagement, we foster curiosity, confidence, and self-regulation skills in each child.
Our therapists bring specialized expertise through training in evidence-based programs, including:
- Sound-Activated Vestibular-Visual Protocol (Astronaut Training): Supports sensory processing and motor coordination through vestibular and visual integration.
- Therapeutic Listening: A sound-based intervention to improve sensory processing, attention, and emotional regulation.
- The SOS Approach to Feeding: An effective program for addressing feeding challenges and picky eating using a sensory-based approach.
- Neuroadaptive Therapy: Supports nervous system regulation through innovative therapeutic techniques.
