Occupational Therapy Services on Long Island
At Occupational Therapy in Motion, we offer pediatric occupational therapy on Long Island, blending traditional methods with innovative approaches to help children thrive. Our practice is based on the belief that movement and nature are powerful tools for healing and growth, and we integrate these elements into our therapy sessions to create meaningful, transformative experiences for children and their families.
One of the standout features of our services is our unique natural environment. Situated on a sprawling 13-acre farm, our facility is home to a variety of animals and features an adaptive playground. This setting provides endless opportunities for children to engage in purposeful, hands-on activities that promote development in motor skills, coordination, and sensory processing. The farm setting is more than just a backdrop—it is a critical component of our therapeutic approach, offering a stimulating and nurturing environment where children flourish.
A key part of our program is hippotherapy, which utilizes the movement of horses as a therapeutic tool. This approach can significantly benefit children with neuro-musculoskeletal dysfunction and sensory processing disorders. The rhythmic motion of the horse provides sensory input that can enhance balance, coordination, and postural control. Our therapists guide each session with care and expertise, making every interaction safe and beneficial.
In addition to hippotherapy, we offer a diverse range of sensory integration therapies designed to support the specific needs of each child. Our facilities include suspended equipment, a rock-climbing wall, and a saltwater pool, all of which are used to enhance body function, sensory processing, and environmental interaction. These therapies are effective and incredibly engaging, encouraging children to participate in their treatment.
Our team at Occupational Therapy in Motion is dedicated to providing personalized care tailored to the specific needs of each child. Our therapists bring a wealth of experience and a deep commitment to their work, to support families through the challenges of raising children with special needs. We develop individualized therapy plans that align with each child's goals and capabilities.
