Occupational Therapy

My son is clumsy, bumps into things, falls often, walks loudly, is always too close to me or others, and gets easily frustrated when things do not go his way.

I would like to stop worrying that he will get hurt because of his clumsiness →

Sensory Integration

My daughter can't stop moving. She refuses to wear certain clothes, refuses to eat certain foods, and gets easily overwhelmed in crowded or noisy places.

I want for her to feel less overwhelmed by these and learn to self-regulate →

Speech Therapy

My son is 2 and does not have too many words. He gets easily frustrated because it is difficult to communicate his needs. He is having trouble playing with peers as well.

I want him to learn some words to improve his communication and decrease frustrations →

Why Choose Alta Pediatrics?

Individualized

At Alta Pediatrics you are not just another number. We value each patient as a unique individual and a member of our community. Your therapist knows you and your child's name, ask for updates on what you are observing, and provides updates on what they are observing during the session.

Play Focused

Play is at the center of our sessions and your child will improve over time through play-based therapy. Whether that is in the sensory gym, running through an obstacle course, playing games, or working on their fine-motor skills what feels like play is your child developing skills and enhancing their abilities.

Experienced

All therapists are trained and experienced in their specific field (occupational and speech therapy) and have specific experience with a pediatric population. Therapists have graduate level degrees, participate in research projects, and attend continuing education to ensure they stay up-to-date on the latest and most effective evaluation and treatment techniques.

Collaborative

We believe communication and collaboration are key. We work with you as the primary caregiver to provide clear updates on progress and goals each week after the session ends. In addition, we can communicate with other stakeholders that are providing care to your child. By coordinating with speech therapists, school staff, ABA, and other specialists we ensure that there is a holistic view of the care your child is receiving.
