Building Everyday Skills Through Pediatric Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy supports children in developing the motor, sensory and thinking skills they need to complete daily tasks. At our East Northport clinic, these tasks become opportunities for growth. Guidance and practice to do things like hold a pencil, fasten buttons, or follow directions during group play may be part of the treatment. Each session is designed to make these goals feel approachable and fun.
Children work one-on-one with a licensed occupational therapist who adjusts each activity to meet their needs. We also involve parents throughout the process and share ideas that can make life smoother at home and in school.
Sensory Integration for Children with Sensory Challenges
When a child has trouble responding to sounds, textures, movement or other sensory input, it can impact how they function day to day. Sensory integration therapy helps organize those responses so children can participate in routines with more ease.
Sensory-based therapy may include movement activities, touchable exploration, or calming exercises that give the brain and body practice working together. Children might use swings, resistance equipment or textured materials depending on what feels right for them.
These sessions build stability and allow kids to better regulate themselves during transitions between activities, group activities and other everyday situations. Some children also benefit from the specialized sensory techniques for kids with “picky eating” habits, designed to increase their nutritional intake.
Occupational Therapy Evaluations: Understanding Your Child’s Needs
Before beginning therapy, every child at our East Northport clinic receives a comprehensive evaluation. This is a key service that helps us understand how your child completes everyday tasks—like dressing, using their hands for play, managing transitions, or following directions—and what strategies will best support their development.
Evaluations are play-based and relaxed. Our licensed therapists observe how your child moves, communicates, focuses, and responds to sensory input during play and structured activities. We’ll also talk with you about their routines at home, including areas that seem difficult or cause frustration.
All of this information helps us design a personalized therapy plan that builds on your child’s strengths and supports them in reaching their full potential—whether that means greater independence, improved focus, or more comfort in everyday situations.

Common Questions from Parents
Do you take insurance at the East Northport location?
Yes—we accept a wide range of insurance plans including NYSHIP. Our staff will walk you through the verification process so you know exactly what’s covered.
What ages do you see?
We work with infants, toddlers, preschoolers and school-age children through the teen years.
How can I tell if my child would benefit from OT?
If your child has difficulty with everyday tasks and fine motor tasks, gets overwhelmed in noisy environments, avoids certain textures, or has a hard time completing routines, they may benefit from occupational therapy. Your best bet is to schedule a pediatric evaluation at our clinic to see if OT would be right for the child.
Is sensory integration something different from occupational therapy?
Yes. Sensory integration is offered as its own focus when children need extra support responding to everyday input like sound, movement, or touch. Some therapy plans are primarily sensory-based, while others combine sensory strategies with daily skill-building. Your child’s plan is always personalized to meet their needs and help them feel more comfortable in daily routines..
