Welcome to Sparrow Kids!
​
Sparrows are a sign for courage, positivity, perseverance, and represent the possibilities to overcome obstacles. With Sparrow Kids, we are positive about the obstacles your child can overcome through perseverance and courage to fly high with success!
Supporting children birth-18 years, and families in achieving their goals through teletherapy & community-based private occupational therapy services. This allows treatment to take place in the child's natural environment, which is highly supported through research.

Our Mission
Our mission is to serve children and families in their natural environment by providing high quality and efficient services and to equip caregivers with evidence based strategies to provide support and carryover while helping children maximize their function and independence across tasks and environments.
Areas of Focus
Sensory Processing
Is your child sensory seeking? Sensory avoidant? Is your child sensitive to certain sounds, textures? Sensory processing involves how the brain processes incoming sensory information. Life is a sensory experience through touch, taste, sound, sight, attention, etc.; we strive to help your child regulate and process incoming sensory stimuli. We will provide you with a sensory diet that is unique to your child's sensory needs.
Self Help
Feeding & Picky Eating
We are here to help with picky eaters. Does your child frequently gag at the sight of certain foods? Does your child have a limited palate? Through play, we can begin to incorporate foods that include new textures, tastes, and smells to your child's diet.
Gross Motor & Coordination
Handwriting & Fine Motor
We use Handwriting Without Tears®, a developmentally appropriate, multi-sensory curriculum for writing instruction. Tailoring your child's needs, we focus on developing proper formation, sizing, and spacing of letters to create legible writing.
​
We will analyze your child's writing and identify contributing factors such as grasp, posture, attention, visual perception, hand strength, etc.
Emotional Regulation & Social Skills
We can help your child do many self-care tasks including, but not limited to dressing, brushing teeth and managing fasteners.
Executive Functioning & Attention
Executive functioning includes organizing, attention and focus, time management, self and emotional control, flexible thinking and much more. We promote these skills within our activities in each session.
Everything from monkey bars, riding a bike, kicking a ball, playing a sport, and so on involves motor planning and execution. We are here to help your child build self confidence alongside increasing their gross motor skills and improving coordination.
Autism
Does your child have constant meltdowns, anxiety, or aggressive behavior? Through social thinking and Zones of Regulation we incorporate social emotional regulation into our therapies to help your child have a better day.
Visual Perception
As Certified Autism Specialists, we incorporate a floor time approach, meeting your child where they are! In our 1 to 1 Autism intensive OT intervention caregivers see success with social skills, attention, cooperation, sensory processing, play skills, executive functioning, feeding, and so much more. Sparrow Kids has Certified Autism team members dedicated to helping your child succeed in all their occupations!
Reflex Integration
We assess for retained reflexes. Retained reflexes have impacts on sensory development, postural disorders, executive functioning, school performance, & motor/cognitive performance. We incorporate tummy time, crawling, and reflex exercises for older children.
For a child to work on puzzles, read, write, perform eye hand coordination, visual discrimination, etc, visual perception skills are necessary. We help with visual scanning, copying, drawing, writing, matching and many more visual perception activities.
Early Intervention
We serve families birth-3 years doing play based early intervention. During play, we are able to provide education, observe and assess for any developmental delays or concerns. During our play based sessions, your OT will work to increase your child's:
