We provide private and school-based occupational therapy to children from birth to the teen age years. Our clinic is located in the Capitol Hill Medical Clinic building where we share an office with Capitol Kids Therapy, LLC (speech and language therapy). In addition to private therapy, we also provide school-based services to many DC Charter Schools through End-to-End Solutions for Special Education on a contract basis.
We have experience working with children who have motor skill delays (visual, fine, and gross motor), hypotonia, dyspraxia, sensory processing disorders, attention deficit disorders, autism spectrum disorder, and trouble with social and play skills. We work closely with families using a team approach so that skills and progress can be generalized across environments. Our therapists aim at using a child-directed approach in treatment to enable maximum motivation and effort from the child. Activities are presented at the "just right challenge" and the level of difficulty is gradually increased as progress is made so that the child sees therapy as play instead of work.
