Sensory Integration

Sensory integration in occupational therapy refers to the process by which children take in, process, and respond to sensory information from their environment. This concept is key in helping children who may struggle with processing sensory inputs such as sight, sound, touch, taste, smell, balance, and body awareness. When there are challenges in processing these inputs, it can impact their ability to function in daily activities.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational therapy treatment focuses on helping people achieve independence in all areas of their lives. OT can help kids with various needs improve their cognitive, physical, and motor skills and enhance their self-esteem and sense of accomplishment. A child’s main job is playing and learning, and occupational therapists can evaluate kids’ skills for playing, school performance, and daily activities and compare them with what is developmentally appropriate for that age group.

I accept and am in-network with nationwide Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) insurance. In order to check coverage I will need a copy of the front and back of your insurance card to see what is covered.

Many of my client’s self-pay. This means I do not work directly with insurance companies and therefore, I cannot bill or communicate with them on your behalf. However, I am able to provide you a Super Bill to bill your insurance directly for reimbursement.

"Chelsea Is The Absolute Best!"

Chelsea has been working with our son for many years and has helped him tremendously. She started working with our son soon after we adopted him and brought him home from China.

He had many developmental delays and she addressed those delays, helping him to reach milestones and become more developmentally on track with his peers.

She is so creative and uses the interests of each child to engage them in working towards their goals. Even though my son is older now, she continues to work with him with his Executive Functioning skills to help him be more organized, productive and successful in his day to day routine and with his school work. I can’t say enough about Chelsea, she is the absolute best!

"We Are Very Grateful"

Chelsea has been such a wonderful OT for our son! She started working with him when he was three, spending three years helping him with motor planning, fine motor control and gross motor function.

We took a break for a few years when he started elementary school, but when we determined that he needed additional help in fourth grade we were very excited to begin working with Chelsea again.

Now she is helping him with handwriting, pattern planning and executive functioning skills. Their sessions are hard work, but my son is always excited for them because Chelsea ensures that they are having fun while he is learning. She is patient and funny and keeps him focused and motivated.

Chelsea has also been a huge asset to the rest of our family, helping us to understand what our son needs and providing resources to help him succeed. We are very grateful to have Chelsea in our lives and appreciate everything she does to help him succeed!

"I've Personally Observed Chelsea"

I’ve personally observed Chelsea working with several children – each one with unique needs, personalities and strengths. Simply put, she is a master at helping kids become comfortable trying new things, gain confidence in their abilities and find joy in everyday activities.

Her ready smile, compassion, extensive expertise and genuine investment in her clients’ progress make her a perfect choice for parents whose believe their kids may need OT services.
