Sensory Processing
When your child’s senses are not working as a team, it may be because one of his/her sensory systems is over- or under-reactive.
Pediatric OT
The primary occupations for young children are playing, learning, and interacting with caregivers and peers. OT can help children work on underlying skills that are preventing them from full participation in their daily routines and activities of daily living. Kids learn new skills and develop functional skills through playing, this is why play is such an important and fun part of OT!
If your child is having difficulty in any of the following functional areas, I can help!
- Handwriting & scissor use
- Dressing including fasteners
- Opening and closing containers
- Meal prep and cooking
- Self-feeding and eating
- Teeth brushing
- Regulating emotions or behavior
- Following daily routines
- Play & social interactions
- Playground participation and safety
Aquatic Therapy & Swim Lessons
Infinity OT offers swim lessons for children of all abilities. Lessons are individualized and based on each child’s unique needs. I have extensive experience working with children with autism, developmental delays, sensory challenges and physical limitations as well as swim training specific to children with disabilities.
Aquatic based occupational therapy intervention can help improve your child’s:
- Gross motor skills
- Endurance
- Body awareness
- Motor planning
- Self-regulation skills
Feeding Therapy
I offer a variety of feeding and oral motor interventions. The most common approach is the Sequential Oral Sensory (SOS) approach to feeding. Kids love this program because we are essentially learning about and playing with foods through all their senses. As a clinician, I am assessing the underlying causes to their feeding difficulties and providing fun activities to help them make progress. The following areas are evaluated and addressed through a detailed SOS program:
- Postural
- Sensory
- Motor
- Behavioral and Cognitive
- Medical Factors
- Typical Development

Sensory Processing
Sensory processing refers to the way the nervous system receives and processes messages from the senses, turning them into responses. In some children, this information does not get organized into the appropriate response, making it difficult to react correctly to a situation.
Top 10 red flags your child may have difficulty with sensory processing:
- Avoidance of typical childhood movement play such as playground equipment
- Picky eater outside the norm of “typical picky eating”
- Can’t be messy and/or sensitivity to clothing
- Constantly bumping into others and objects
- Difficulty with transitions
- Too rough with toys and others
- Sensitivity to sounds and difficulty recovering from loud sounds past age 3
- Shutting down, poor attention or acting out in busy environments
- Over focuses on tiny visual details which results in poor attention
- Doesn’t seem to notice when being talked to or needs directions repeated
