Dedicated to Your Child’s Success at Home, School, and in the Community
At Occupational Therapy Associates (OTA), we believe every child deserves the chance to grow with confidence. We have two state-of-the-art clinics in the Greater Boston area where our compassionate team provides comprehensive occupational, speech and language, and feeding therapy services. We focus on helping children improve their skills so they can participate more fully at home, succeed at school, and thrive in their community.
Our Therapy Services
We provide individualized, family-centered care with services designed to meet children where they are and help them move forward with confidence:
Occupational Therapy
Our occupational therapists help children build independence in daily activities through sensory integration, motor skills development, and self-regulation strategies. We focus on the functional skills your child needs for daily activities, such as handwriting, and self-care. We also offer specialized treatment programs to address sensory challenges, emotional regulation, and more.
Speech Therapy
Our speech-language pathologists support children to develop clear communication, strong language skills, and meaningful social interaction. We can work with your child on articulation, fluency, expressive and receptive language, social language skills, and more. We also incorporate specialized treatment approaches when appropriate.
Feeding Therapy
Feeding therapy at OTA is a collaborative effort between our speech and occupational therapists. We help children with picky eating, swallowing challenges, or oral motor difficulties. Our goal is to help your child explore and accept new foods without pressure. We use sensory and play-based treatments, including the SOS Approach to Feeding, to create positive mealtime experiences and lasting progress.
