Occupational Therapy
Occupational Therapy Services
Children are wonderfully unique and have various developmental needs and abilities. Pediatric Occupational Therapists assist children with varying abilities by providing support both to them and their caregivers. It is an occupational therapist's job to assess how independently children can engage in the world around them and then provide recommendations on how to continue to foster that independence across different settings.

Woven Blessing supports children with varying needs and diagnoses. Our services are available to all children, whether or not they have a formal diagnosis. Our team is here to support and guide children through every step of their journey to achieving their goals and we don't limit the number of sessions we offer, as therapy is often influenced by a variety of factors.
