Therapy that meets each child where they are.
From weekly OT sessions to intensive programs and summer camp — every service we offer is grounded in connection, evidence-based practice, and a deep respect for your child’s developmental profile.
Five pathways to support and growth.
Every child’s journey begins with an evaluation, and from there we tailor a combination of services that fits your family.
OT Treatment
Higher frequency occupational therapy treatment (2x/week) provides consistent, neurodivergent-affirming support that prioritizes connection, bottom-up neurodevelopmental strategies, and tailored home programming.
Neuroadaptive Intensive Therapy
Our 10-hour week-long intensive is a groundbreaking approach for children with neurodevelopmental challenges. By integrating low-level laser therapy, sensory integration, and primitive reflex integration, we help improve focus, emotional regulation, and cognitive function. This internationally sought-after approach is enhanced at Whole Child with the unique addition of an emotionally supportive rabbit and natural outdoor experiences as tolerated.
Whole Child Neuroadaptive Camp
Indoor and outdoor groups featuring crafts, sensory play, virtual reality interactive activities, low-level light therapy, field games, motion sensor balance games, music, nature observation, and rabbit grooming.
Feeding Therapy
Our specialized feeding therapy sessions are designed to address sensory processing and oral-motor-based feeding challenges to promote more enjoyable mealtime experiences for the whole family.
Evaluation
A detailed evaluation process to identify functional deficits using standardized testing, primitive reflex testing, sensory processing measures, clinical observations, medical history, and parental questionnaires — for a truly personalized occupational therapy plan.
Rooted in relationship, grounded in evidence.
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.
Three frameworks working together.
Therapy at WCP is built on three evidence-based pillars — each one shaping how we evaluate, plan, and engage with every child.
Bottom-Up Neurodevelopmental Framework
We focus on building strong foundational skills by addressing the body and brain’s lower-level systems — sensory processing, reflex integration, and emotional regulation — before working toward higher-level cognitive and behavioral goals. This supports regulation, motor skills, and attention for meaningful participation.
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.
Relational & Play-Based Interventions
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 — making therapy something kids actually look forward to.
Training in evidence-based programs.
Our therapists bring deep, specialized expertise to every session through ongoing certification and training in proven therapeutic approaches.
Sound-Activated Vestibular-Visual Protocol
Also known as 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 and modalities.
Children with diverse needs and strengths.
Our therapists specialize in supporting children experiencing a wide range of developmental, sensory, and emotional challenges.
We recognize and honor the diversity of neurodivergent experiences. By supporting each child’s unique processing style, we create an inclusive and empowering environment where children feel seen, heard, and valued.
At Whole Child Pediatric, we nurture the whole child — mind, body, and relationships — through evidence-based, compassionate, and playful interventions.
The everyday skills that change everything.
From buttoning a shirt to making a friend — we work on the skills that help children fully participate in the activities they love and need.
Daily Living Skills
Enhance your child’s independence with focused work on essential activities like dressing, grooming, and self-care — promoting confidence and self-sufficiency in everyday tasks.
Functional Motor Skills & Coordination
Improve balance, strength, and motor planning through targeted exercises and activities, supporting better physical function in play and daily life.
Social Engagement
Boost your child’s communication, cooperation, and relationship-building through interactive therapy sessions that foster positive interactions and friendships.
Sensory Processing
Help your child understand and respond to sensory input effectively — reducing sensory overload and improving their ability to engage and focus in various environments.
Regulation & Co-Regulation Strategies
Teach skills for self-regulation while fostering supportive interactions for better emotional control, stability, and impulse management.
Fine Motor Skills
Refine hand-eye coordination, dexterity, and precision — essential for tasks like writing, buttoning, using utensils, and so much more.
Emotional Awareness
Help children understand and manage their emotions, develop sensory-based tools, and improve self-regulation — leading to better emotional well-being and resilience.
