Pediatric Occupational Therapy

Welcome to The Balanced Kid, Inc., a therapist-owned and operated private occupational therapy practice.

Our mission is to provide exceptional occupational therapy services with the highest level of expertise and individualized care for children and adolescents with diverse and unique needs. We believe in a collaborative approach, working closely with families, caregivers, and other professionals to support every aspect of a child’s daily life.

Our highly experienced occupational therapists embrace a strengths-based, client-centered approach that highlights each individual’s abilities, interests, and motivations. We integrate therapeutic activities into meaningful daily routines, fostering growth and development in a way that is both functional and engaging.

Using a holistic framework, we address all aspects of a child’s occupation, including sensory processing and integration, sensory regulation and modulation, postural organization, praxis, social-emotional learning and regulation, shared attention, coping strategies, and participation in daily activities and expectations.

Our practice is deeply rooted in the philosophies and therapeutic approaches of Dr. A. Jean Ayres’ Sensory Integration Theory, as well as relationship-based models that emphasize the child-parent-therapist connection.

At The Balanced Kid, Inc., we strive to enhance sensory processing and integration, skill development, and overall function, bringing balance to both the child and their family. Our goal is to create an environment where every child feels safe, understood, confident, powerful, responsible, curious, resilient, playful, cooperative, adaptive, and kind in all aspects of their daily living and well-being.
