Building skills with your child to make everyday activities easier.
At Thrive, we specialize in pediatric occupational therapy
Feeding Therapy
Regardless of what has lead to the struggle with foods, our therapists will provide one on one support for food exploration and expansion. You will notice an increase in food variety with less stress around mealtimes. We want you to feel confident and competent in feeding your child.
All feeding therapy is play based and child led in supporting exploration of textures, colors and flavors. We assess seating, oral motor skills and sensory integration. Our individualized, family centered approach helps your child to THRIVE..
Developmental Therapy
Whether your child is experiencing fine motor delays with school work, dressing or play, we investigate the root cause (possibly motor concerns, sensory integration or retained reflexes). The goal is to bring your child's skills to a more age appropriate level through an individualized plan. Occupational therapy intervention is play based, meeting your child where they are.
Thrive Pediatric Therapy also contracts with Early Steps of Northeast Florida to provide occupational therapy services for children birth to 3 years of age.
