What is Occupational Therapy?
While connecting about mom-life over coffee, another Mom said to me, “Wouldn’t it be amazing if every kid could get the benefits of working with a great OT?” I actually hear this quite often

After working with children as an Occupational Therapist in many different settings—outpatient, inpatient, early intervention, virtual—it became clear to me that a child has the best chance of success when therapy is tailored to the child’s environment and caregivers are heavily involved. I started Functional Roots with a simple goal: make therapy work for families. I want to help children build a foundation for functional growth by working with them and their caregivers in the environments that are most relevant in their daily lives—the home and community. With this approach, families can make incredible progress with feeding, social skills, sensory processing, and independent daily activities.
