Common skills addressed includes fine motor, visual motor, sensory processing, and upper body and core strengthening. OT works towards improving independence with activities of daily living, including dressing, grooming, bathing, toileting, self-feeding, and more. OT addresses feeding and swallowing, including difficulty with oral motor control and picky eating. OT can be provided to children of all ages, including infancy through adolescence.

VitalStim Therapy
VitalStim is a treatment method used in Occupational Therapy with children who have difficulty swallowing, often requiring the need for a modified diet including thickened liquids. VitalStim Therapy focuses on improving safety with swallowing through the use of NeuroMuscular Electric Stimulation. Electrodes (small stickers hooked up to the VitalStim device) are placed over swallowing muscles to increase strength and awareness. Most children are able to tolerate the session without difficulty and describe the sensation as “warm” and a “hug” to the neck. To be most effective, VitalStim Therapy is completed during a 60 minute session at least 2-3x/week. VitalStim Therapy can be provided to children of all ages, including infancy through adolescence.
