Sensory Strategies for Teens to Adults
Our occupational therapists provide evaluation and intervention for individuals ages 15 to 30, using a sensory and motor-based approach to support functional independence in real-world settings. We focus on addressing sensory processing and motor challenges that may interfere with participation in everyday activities, whether at home, school, in internships, employment, or professional environments. Interventions are designed to build practical strategies and support skill development for greater success across academic, vocational, and daily life tasks.
