Occupational Therapy
At Blair Therapies, we help children gain the skills they need to thrive in the moments that matter most—whether it’s mealtime with family, playing with friends, getting dressed, or joining classroom activities. Our pediatric Occupational Therapists focus on building independence, confidence, and functional abilities through developmentally appropriate, engaging interventions tailored to each child’s unique needs.
Occupational Therapy is offered through our Early Intervention, Pediatric Therapy Clinic, and School Services programs—ensuring care is consistent and accessible wherever it's needed.
Because when a child feels capable in their world, everything starts to open up.
