Occupational therapy is a play and activities based approach to healing. Elizabeth’s sessions focus on practical sensory based strategies (via the tactile, proprioceptive, vestibular and interoceptive systems) to help children and adults to regulate their nervous systems through a range of exercises that help bring the body into balance. She also uses the Sequential Oral Sensory (SOS) approach to feeding, to help children to develop oral motor skills and curiosity toward novel and non-preferred foods. As an OT, Elizabeth has experience working with picky eaters, emotional and behavioral problems, stroke recovery (adults), and symptoms associated with rare genetic disorders, CP, ASD, ADD/HD, depression and anxiety.

Play activities that build postural strength, connection, confidence and self-regulation.

Here’s what clients are saying:

“My daughter is ten years old and has muscular dystrophy. Elizabeth has been providing occupational therapy for her for about three months now. They have quickly developed a great relationship. My daughter always looks forward to her therapy sessions and will ask about Elizabeth if we go without seeing her for long. Elizabeth has great energy, she keeps things exciting and interesting, and can keep my daughter focused and engaged. Although it may be hard work, my daughter considers it fun and games. Best of all, I see the progress with her coordination and strength increasing. Elizabeth is an angel, in my opinion, helping my daughter with her many challenges. Thank you so much!” —MK

“Working with Elizabeth has been a game changer in our daughter’s development. Even though all our appointments have been over FaceTime, Elizabeth has been able to address our daughter’s feeding issues in a very helpful way. She works us through explaining exercises to do with her, activities that are often fun for our baby, and adjusts based on our needs. Elizabeth has helped our daughter become more efficient drinking from a bottle, breastfeeding, and now, eating solid foods, and drinking from a cup. Elizabeth’s sweet, fun, nurturing personality shines through the screen. It’s clear that our daughter is excited to see her. We are so grateful to have Elizabeth and plan to continue working with her to enrich our daughter’s development, stage by stage.” —DK
