When you reach out to South Shore Therapies, one of our clinicians will connect with you to discuss your child’s needs. This free-intake phone call allows us to learn more about your child and how we may be able to best support your child and your family. Together, we’ll decide on the best evaluation, consultation, or treatment options. If services are recommended, we’ll help schedule appointments that fit seamlessly into your routine.

For children, undergoing this therapy can be beneficial to playing, learning, and many other meaningful activities. Occupational therapy helps children and adolescents develop skills for daily life through purposeful and meaningful activities. Some examples of youthful activities we address include navigating a playground, learning to ride a bicycle, getting dressed, tying their shoes, and writing their names. Getting organized for homework, chores, and daily routines are other essential activities we help children address. Children learn through play, so at South Shore Therapies, we use a child-led, play-based approach to intervention to allow our children to develop the skills they need for successful engagement in meaningful activities.

South Shore Therapies’ services are available to children across the lifespan – ranging from 0-18 years of age. We also have workshops and programs to help family members, parents, caregivers, and professionals. You can also check out My Resource Place, our partner site, for more resources.
