Strengths Driven

• We build therapy plans based on our member’s interests
• We focus on celebrations and wins
• We communicate to parents the things that are going well, not just the challenge areas
• We celebrate the strengths of the family, not just the individual
• We use our own strengths as therapists in our sessions

Family Centered

• We recognize that our members do not exist in isolation, but within a family unit
• We believe that belonging matters
• We acknowledge there are many different family structures and different ways that different family members provide and need support
• We work with your family’s bigger teams or systems like schools, other therapists, sports, or programs they are involved with
• We strive to create interventions, strategies, and plans that work for the whole family and their unique lifestyle

Occupation Focused

• We create sessions that take place in the real world, not in an artificial clinic environment- this means there we can skip generalization steps
• We believe that engaging in meaningful occupation empowers individuals
• We use occupations as the means (the therapy itself) and the ends (the goals we are working towards)
• We use occupations because they provide therapeutic value in the session AND once learned and experienced families can participate in those occupations on their own outside of sessions

Community Building

• We strive to create change that is bigger than the success in our OT sessions- we support our members to feel confident and comfortable in their communities on an individual level
• We empower community partners to create inclusive spaces through education, collaboration, creating relationships
• We partner with a variety of community organizations- if you are a community organization and are interested in working with us feel free to reach out and connect
