Occupational therapy for ADHD and attention
Practical, play-based help with focus, organization, big feelings and schoolwork, for children with ADHD or attention challenges.
What we work on
Kids with ADHD are often bright, busy and frustrated. OT gives them tools their body and brain can use.
- Attention: starting a task, sticking with it and finishing
- Executive functioning: planning, organizing and remembering steps
- Emotional regulation: noticing big feelings and calming down
- Movement needs: getting the right kind of activity so sitting is possible
- Handwriting and fine motor skills that slow schoolwork down
How sessions work
Move, then focus
Climbing, swinging and heavy work in the gym prepare the body for table tasks.
Zones of Regulation
Our founder is trained in Zones of Regulation, a framework that teaches children to name how they feel and choose a strategy.
A plan for home
Routines, visual supports and practice ideas that fit real family life.

Common questions
Call (669) 888-3636 if yours is not here.
Can occupational therapy help with ADHD?
Occupational therapy does not treat ADHD with medication. It works on the day-to-day skills ADHD makes harder: attention during tasks, organization, emotional regulation, handwriting and coordination.
Does my child need a diagnosis?
No. If focus, sitting still, big feelings or schoolwork are a daily struggle, you can start with a screening.
Will you give us strategies for home and school?
Yes. We explain what we are working on after sessions and give you simple routines and tools to use at home and share with teachers.
