Occupational Therapy
Supporting your child in developing essential skills for daily living
Helping Kids Live Life to the Fullest
Every child deserves to thrive. At Reach Therapy Services, our occupational therapy programs are designed to support each child in accessing every part of life to their fullest potential, regardless of developmental or mental health conditions that impact them. Our occupational therapists work to promote independence and quality of life, both now and in the future.
Why REACH?
Our core values drive each clinical decision made by our therapists at Reach to provide robust care that supports each client’s individual needs.
Inter-Collaborative Support
With multiple disciplines housed under Reach Therapy, our team of therapists work consistently throughout the day to collaborate on each child’s plan of care in order to generalize skills and promote independence.
Trauma-Informed Care
Trauma-Informed Care is a comprehensive approach to therapy, with therapists considering a client’s whole life situation as part of a client’s plan of care. As a trauma-informed clinic, each therapist at Reach receives training to assess a child’s strengths and needs from a whole-child lens, with consideration for past experiences and how that impacts present skills.
Client-Centered Approach
Service planning at Reach Therapy happens with the client at the core of every decision made. Our therapists consider a child’s strengths when formulating a treatment plan to address their needs and meet the child where they are at in their trajectory of development.
