Occupational therapy in Norwalk: building everyday skills

Occupational Therapy in Norwalk CT 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, Occupational Therapy in Norwalk CT steps in when those things are harder than they should be.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Specifically, we target communication, social skills, behavior regulation, and functional independence across all severity levels and ages.

Developmental Delays

In particular, we support cognitive, adaptive, and social milestones for children with global or domain-specific delays.

Behavioral Challenges

For example, we address aggression, self-injury, elopement, non-compliance, and severe meltdowns through positive behavior support plans.

Communication Delays

Similarly, we build functional verbal and non-verbal communication, from first words to complex sentences and AAC device use.

Social Skills Deficits

Additionally, we develop peer interaction, turn-taking, play skills, and social-cue reading in both 1:1 and group ABA sessions.
