About Us
Development is CHILD'S PLAY! is a privately-owned
clinic providing occupational therapy to children with developmental
or coordination difficulties.
Issues may include:
- Under or over-reaction to ordinary sensory experiences
- Delayed motor skills or poor coordination (e.g. handwriting,
ball skills, bike riding)
- Difficulty with transitions or changes in routine
- Inappropriate, unusual, or repetitive behavior patterns
- Poor organizational or attention skills
- Extremely picky eating patterns/habits
- Avoidance of activities in which children the same age
are usually proficient
Children may or may not have a diagnosis or medical
history that would account for these struggles. For individuals
with a diagnosis or significant history, issues may include
a medical or genetic disorder, autism spectrum disorder, learning
disability, or atypical pregnancy, birth, or early development
(e.g. difficult delivery, drug exposure, institutionalization,
maternal or child illness). Early intervention can minimize
struggles and maximize the individual’s potential.
Development is CHILD’S PLAY! hires the best possible
occupational therapists and provides supervision and mentoring
to develop an exceptional staff. We
are a training site for occupational therapy students and interns,
and are an approved site to provide advanced training in sensory
integration intervention for international occupational therapists.
The majority of our staff is certified or is in the process
of obtaining certification in the evaluation and treatment of
sensory processing disorders.
