Pediatric Occupational Therapy

When everyday tasks feel like big challenges, our pediatric occupational therapists help kids gain the skills they need for independence. Through fun, play-based activities, we build fine motor skills, emotional regulation, sensory processing, and confidence — so your child can thrive at home, in school, and in life. This service is currently offered at our Sartell, Minn. location and in the future will become available at additional locations.

Our pediatric occupational therapists help kids — from toddlers to teens — gain the skills they need for independence.

Support for Every Stage

Building skills for daily success

From holding a pencil to getting dressed, occupational therapy supports kids in mastering everyday tasks. Our therapists create personalized plans that focus on your child’s unique needs, celebrate every milestone, and help them gain the confidence to tackle the world around them.

What we help with

  • Fine motor skill development
    Helping kids strengthen hand and finger control for everyday tasks like writing, buttoning, and using utensils.

  • Handwriting and school readiness
    Building the skills kids need for the classroom — from pencil grip and letter formation to focus and endurance.

  • Self-care routines (dressing, feeding, grooming)
    Teaching children how to manage daily activities independently, boosting confidence at home and school.

  • Sensory processing challenges
    Supporting kids in responding to sights, sounds, smells, and textures in a way that feels comfortable and manageable.

  • Coordination and motor skills
    Improving body control and stability for activities like climbing, running, and playing sports.

  • Social skills 
    Supporting the development of healthy relationships – from sharing toys and playing cooperatively with their peers, through learning to communicate and express their needs effectively.

  • Emotional regulation 
    Equipping kids with tools to name their emotions and teaching them self-regulation strategies, like how to calm their bodies after getting upset or staying focused on a task.
