Occupational Therapy


 

“My husband and I were talking last night about our son and remarking on how far he has come in one year at Westside. Through OT he has gone from a child we couldn’t take anywhere to a child who is fun to be around and learning to control himself in so many ways. Westside has been such a blessing to our family!” – The Lilly Family

Our Approach

Westside helps children gain functional skills for independence in daily life activities or “occupations”. We use sensory integration, muscle strengthening, coordination, motor planning, visual perception, and motor skill techniques.  

We never forget that a kid is a kid by ensuring therapy is fun, safe, and inviting. Our expectation: life-changing results.
