Physical therapy in Brooklyn: building movement skills
Occupational Therapy in Brooklyn NYC helps children build the everyday skills they need to play, learn, and care for themselves. A child’s “occupations” are the things that fill their day getting dressed, holding a pencil, sitting still in class, and joining other kids at play. Therefore, OT steps in when those things are harder than they should be.
At Nexus, our licensed occupational therapists (OTR/L) first evaluate fine-motor control, sensory processing, coordination, and self-care. Then they build a personalized, play-based plan aligned with your child’s goals and your family’s routines. In addition, progress is tracked at every session, so the plan keeps pace as your child grows.
Brooklyn is New York City’s most populous and most diverse borough, home to countless young families across dozens of distinct neighborhoods. Consequently, families deserve OT that travels to them. Nexus brings Occupational Therapy in Brooklyn NYC directly to your Brooklyn home, school, or our clinic or by telehealth with NY Medicaid accepted and NYC Early Intervention available for children birth to age 3.

Common questions from Brooklyn families
What does pediatric physical therapy help with?
Occupational Therapy in Brooklyn NYC helps children build everyday skills like fine motor control, handwriting, sensory processing, self-care like dressing and feeding, attention, and self-regulation so they can participate more fully at home, in school, and at play.
What's the difference between OT and PT?
Occupational Therapy in Brooklyn NYC focuses on fine-motor, sensory, and daily-living skills, the activities that fill a child’s day. Physical Therapy in Brooklyn NYC focuses on gross-motor skills like strength, balance, and mobility. Many children benefit from both, and our team coordinates them.
Do you accept NY Medicaid in Brooklyn?
My child is under 3 can they still get OT?
Yes. Children from birth to age 3 are served through the NYC Early Intervention Program (EIP). We provide licensed occupational therapy as part of that program and help you navigate the referral.
Do you coordinate with Brooklyn schools?
Yes. We coordinate with each school’s Committee on Special Education (CSE) and, for preschoolers, the Committee on Preschool Special Education (CPSE), aligning PT goals with your child’s IEP.
