Occupational Therapy
Occupational Therapy (OT) is a holistic approach that focuses on utilizing daily meaningful tasks, called “occupations,” to help improve, develop, restore, or maintain an individual's skills necessary to live a fulfilled and meaningful life. OT can help people of all ages, including children. A child's main occupation is play, and here at Future Forward we are committed to incorporating play in every way we can.
Consultations
On occasion, consultations outside of regular treatment sessions are necessary. These may include visits/consultations with teachers, caregivers, or other service providers.

Therapeutic Consultation Services involve therapist collaboration with an individual’s care team, including caregivers and/or support staff to enhance the support an individual receives to be more independent. TC is available to children and adults!
