Occupational therapy in Stamford: building everyday skills
Occupational therapy Stamford 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, OT 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.

Common questions from Stamford families
What does pediatric occupational therapy help with?
Occupational therapy Stamford CT helps children build everyday skills — 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 Stamford CT focuses on fine-motor, sensory, and daily-living skills — the activities that fill a child’s day. Physical therapy focuses on gross-motor skills like strength, balance, and mobility. Many children benefit from both, and our team coordinates them.
Do you accept HUSKY Health in Stamford?
Yes. We accept HUSKY Health and most major insurance plans for occupational therapy Stamford CT, and we verify your coverage at no cost before therapy begins.
My child is under 3 can they still get OT?
Yes. Children from birth to age 3 are served through the CT Birth to Three (the Connecticut Early Intervention System). We provide licensed occupational therapy as part of that program and help you navigate the referral.
Do you coordinate with Stamford schools?
Yes. We coordinate directly with your child’s school Planning and Placement Team (PPT), aligning OT goals with the IEP and sharing written progress so home and school stay in sync.
