Sensory processing can be challenging for some children, affecting how they respond to sights, sounds, textures, and other sensory experiences in their environment. At Sounds Good Therapy, our occupational therapists work with children who experience sensory sensitivities or difficulties processing sensory input, helping them find comfort and confidence in daily life. We create a calm, supportive space where children learn to regulate their responses to sensory stimuli through fun, interactive activities tailored to their unique needs. By building these sensory processing skills, we empower children to feel more at ease in their environments, helping them thrive in school, social settings, and at home.

At Sounds Good Therapy, we’re here to support children with developmental delays and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) as they build essential life skills and confidence. Children with developmental delays or ASD may face unique challenges in areas like social interaction, self-care, communication, and play. Our occupational therapists are dedicated to helping each child learn and grow at their own pace, focusing on individualized goals that foster independence and connection. Through structured, engaging activities, we work on skills that help children thrive in everyday routines—whether it’s at home, in school, or with friends. Our goal is to provide compassionate, effective therapy that empowers children and supports their families every step of the way.

Dressing Skills
Many children need support in learning how to dress themselves, which involves fine motor skills (such as buttoning, zipping, and fastening), as well as coordination and planning. Our therapists use fun, step-by-step techniques to teach these tasks, empowering children to dress independently. This process not only boosts their self-confidence but also prepares them for daily routines at home and school.

Feeding and Eating Skills
Occupational therapy can be beneficial for children who struggle with using utensils, chewing, swallowing, or accepting a variety of food textures. We help children develop the necessary hand skills, as well as sensory processing abilities, to eat comfortably and independently. Our therapists also work closely with parents to support children with any oral sensitivities, encouraging a positive and stress-free mealtime experience.

Hygiene and Grooming
Daily hygiene routines, such as brushing teeth, washing hands, and combing hair, are essential self-care skills. For children with sensory sensitivities or motor challenges, these tasks can be overwhelming. Our occupational therapists use specialized approaches to help children learn these skills at their own pace, making it easier for them to care for themselves and develop pride in their appearance.

Toileting Skills
Toilet training can be a challenging milestone, especially for children with developmental or sensory processing difficulties. Our therapists provide a structured approach, helping children learn the steps and establish routines for independent toileting. We offer guidance and strategies that are supportive and sensitive to each child’s needs, helping families create a positive toilet training experience.

Building Routines and Independence
Beyond individual skills, occupational therapy helps children establish routines that make it easier for them to follow daily schedules at home and in school. Our therapists work on goal-setting, task sequencing, and problem-solving skills, all of which contribute to greater independence and the ability to participate in daily activities confidently.

Self-care and daily living skills are foundational for a child’s autonomy, confidence, and readiness for school. Our occupational therapists are committed to working collaboratively with families to foster these abilities, creating a supportive environment where children can thrive.
