Sensory Processing Assessments
Specialized evaluations that help understand how children perceive, interpret, and respond to sensory information from their environment.

Social Skills
These skills help with interacting, communicating, working cooperatively, and building relationships with others. They include sharing, taking turns, listening, expressing feelings appropriately, and understanding social cues.
Gross & Fine Motor Skills
Fine motor skills involve the small muscles of the hands and fingers, enabling tasks like writing, drawing, and buttoning clothes. Gross motor skills use larger muscle groups for activities such as walking, jumping, climbing, and throwing. Together, these skills support children’s ability to participate in play, learning, and daily routines.
