The Occupational Therapy staff at Comprehensive Therapy Services offers evaluation, consultation, and treatment for a variety of fine motor and sensory integration skills, including problems with visual perceptual skills, handwriting skills, visual motor integration, self-care skills, and muscle and joint integrity. Our Occupational therapists also evaluate and consult with families regarding possible needs for adaptive equipment and environmental modifications.

The OT team works out of our new Occupational Therapy clinic in the main office in Richardson, which includes a climbing wall and vestibular equipment to address the many aspects of Sensory Integration Dysfunction. Sensory integration skills include: sensory awareness, visual spatial awareness, body integration, balance, bilateral motor coordination, visual-motor integration, and praxis.

Our Occupational Therapists have an extensive fine motor program that includes several handwriting programs geared to enhance development for various learning styles for skills that the child’s school has introduced.

Specially trained therapists conduct feeding therapy using a sensory integration approach to address any of the following:

• children with a limited diet, food aversions, or "picky eaters";
• children who are having difficulty in transitioning to solid and/or textured foods;
• children showing difficulty transitioning to a "sippy" cup, regular cup, or drinking from a straw

Therapists from each discipline at CTS work together on each patient’s goals to achieve the optimum continuity and effectiveness of care.
