Why Continuity OT?

School-based occupational therapists utilize an educational model, focusing on supporting students' participation and success within the academic environment. They address areas of need that directly impact a child's ability to access education, such as fine motor skills for writing, sensory processing for classroom focus, and social skills for peer interaction. While these school-based interventions are invaluable, they often have limited time and resources to address other crucial areas of a child's development.

At Continuity OT, we go beyond the educational model. We not only support the skills necessary for academic success but also focus on the critical life skills that may not be addressed in the school setting. This includes essential areas like self-regulation skills, independent living skills, self-care routines, community integration, vocational readiness, and much more. By providing comprehensive and personalized support, we empower children to thrive not only in the classroom but in all aspects of their lives.

We can work closely with your child's school-based therapist to ensure a seamless transition and continued progress. We can help acquire new skills and maintain hard-earned skills, address specific challenges, and prepare your child for the next stage of their journey. Choose Continuity OT to provide your child with the ongoing support they need to thrive.
