Areas of Focus
-

Sensory Processing
Children who have difficulty processing sensory information may struggle with attention, emotional regulation, transitions, participation, and everyday activities. Therapy helps children become more regulated, confident, and successful at home, at school, and in the community.
-
Confidence
When children struggle with motor or sensory skills, it can affect their confidence and sense of competence. Donna helps children build the skills they need to experience greater success at home, at school, and in everyday life.
-

Social Skills
Strong social skills develop from many underlying abilities, including regulation, motor planning, communication, and confidence. Therapy helps children build meaningful relationships and participate more successfully with family, peers, and in school.
-

Fine Motor Functioning
A child’s ability to use their hands effectively supports play, visual skills, motor coordination, and handwriting, all of which are foundational to academic functioning. Donna can intervene to improve a child’s performance.
-

Mealtime / Food Intake
Feeding challenges can affect nutrition, family routines, and mealtimes. Donna works with children and families to expand food choices, reduce stress, and create more positive eating experiences.
-

Gross Motor Skills
Gross motor performance can be enhanced by focusing on 'just right challenges' and being mindful of the sensory feedback a child is receiving. Donna identifies the underlying factors contributing to a child’s struggles and works to create the path to success.
