Family Centric Approach
At Blossom Therapeutics, we utilize the DIR/Floortime® model of development alongside the Facilitating Attuned Interactions (FAN) approach to create a supportive, relationship-based framework that engages the entire family. Our therapists are dedicated to meeting each child’s unique developmental needs through individualized, play-based interventions, while also fostering strong, attuned connections between caregivers and children.
OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY
The occupation of a child is play.
At Blossom Therapeutics, we recognize that play is a child’s primary way of exploring and understanding both the world around them and their own inner experiences. Through play, children integrate sensory information, develop self-awareness, and build the foundation for meaningful learning and growth.
​
Occupational Therapy is a cornerstone of our services. Using a combination of self-care, work, and play-based activities, our therapists support children in building independence, promoting developmental progress, and addressing challenges before they become barriers. We integrate the DIR/Floortime® model with sensory integration-informed practices to support children with sensory processing differences, as well as a wide range of developmental and behavioral needs.
​
Our clinic is thoughtfully designed to offer a safe, engaging, and playful environment where children can comfortably explore, move, and make sense of everyday experiences through meaningful activity.
HOW SENSORY-INTEGRATION INFLUENCES OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY
Reorganize and unjam.
At Blossom Therapeutics, we use a sensory integration-informed approach that emphasizes creative play and exploration as essential tools for development. This child-led method supports children in developing a deeper understanding of themselves and their surroundings, helping to build a strong foundation in sensory processing and motor skills. These foundational abilities are critical for self-regulation, attention, emotional well-being, and long-term developmental growth.
​
Our goal is to empower each child to reach their full potential by fostering their ability to engage meaningfully in play, manage their bodies and emotions, sustain attention, and cultivate a positive sense of self.
​
Sensory integration, as described by Dr. A. Jean Ayres (1979), is “the organization of sensation for use.” She explains:
​
“Our senses give us information about the physical conditions of our body and the environment around us. These sensations flow into the brain like streams flowing into a lake. The brain must then organize all of these sensations if a person is to move and learn normally. The brain locates, sorts, and orders sensations—somewhat as a policeman directs moving cars. When the flow of sensations is disorganized, life can be like a rush-hour traffic jam.”
​
At Blossom Therapeutics, we help children make sense of these sensory “traffic jams” by supporting their nervous systems in organizing and integrating sensory input. Our therapists are dedicated to creating a safe, engaging, and playful environment where children can thrive.
