Occupational Therapy

Rooted Therapies provides occupational therapy services to help children build the skills they need for everyday life—through play. We work alongside families to support sensory processing, fine and gross motor skills, self-care routines, and emotional regulation. Our therapists are trained in gestalt language processing and use a playful, child-led approach so therapy feels safe, engaging, and empowering.
