Children’s Therapy Center, Co. is a boutique pediatric occupational therapy clinic with locations in San Jose and Carmel that provides an intimate and tailored approach to supporting children's mind and body development. We have tossed aside the notion that children primarily use behavior to get something or to get out of something, as research shows us that there is more to behavior than meets the eye. This allows us to go beyond the “what” and get to the “why.” Our goal is to give families the tools and resources they need to better understand their children and support them as they grow, in a way that fosters connection and compassion. Our occupational therapists are specialized in supporting a variety of areas including: Fine Motor, Gross Motor, Sensory Processing, Visual Motor/Perception, Self Regulation, Social Development, Executive Functioning, Coordination, Handwriting, Feeding/Eating, Managing Emotions, Self Care and more. Our team utilizes a strengths based, neurodiversity affirming approach to ensure our clients feel valued and supported.
