Occupational Therapy

Capital Kids Therapies, LLC in Concord provides child- and family-centered occupational therapy to support a wide range of developmental and functional needs. Our therapists help children build skills for daily life—such as fine motor coordination, sensory processing, self-care, and emotional regulation—through engaging, play-based interventions tailored to each child’s unique strengths and challenges.

Fine Motor Coordination

Treatment is designed to improve hand strength, endurance, and coordination to support daily activities. Our goal is to help children succeed with age-appropriate tasks like holding utensils, fastening buttons and zippers, brushing teeth, tying shoes, coloring, and writing. We use fun, targeted activities to build the foundational skills needed for greater independence at home, school, and in the community.

Gross Motor Skills

Treatment is designed to improve balance, coordination, core strength, and body awareness, helping your child confidently engage in age-appropriate play and movement. Through fun, active sessions, we support skills like jumping, climbing, running, and navigating playground equipment—building the foundation for physical confidence at home, school, and in social settings.

Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)

Treatment focuses on enhancing your child’s ability to care for themselves and establish a consistent daily routine. This includes skills such as dressing, grooming, toileting, and feeding. We also offer specialized programming for children who are resistive eaters, using engaging techniques to improve eating habits and create positive mealtime experiences.

Sensory Integration

Our sensory system is designed to alert us to potential dangers through sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste. For some children, however, their sensory system is not "calibrated" properly, causing everyday sensations—such as the feeling of clothing, touch, or sounds—to feel overwhelming or even threatening. Occupational therapy helps regulate the sensory system by using targeted interventions, improving the child’s ability to process and respond to sensory input. This enables them to function more comfortably and confidently at home, school, and in the community.

Functional Vision

Functional vision, also known as ocular motor skills, refers to how our eyes work together to create a single, clear image, scan our environment or text, and track moving objects like a ball. When the eyes do not work together properly, near-vision tasks—such as reading, hygiene, and self-care—can become frustrating, and children may feel overwhelmed by visual information. This can lead to resistance in engaging with tasks like reading or brushing teeth, as well as heightened sensitivity where they may seek out excessive movement to cope. Occupational therapy can help improve eye coordination and tracking abilities, supporting your child’s ability to function more effectively in everyday activities at home, school, and in the community.

Feeding Therapy

The SOS Approach to Feeding is a play-based program designed to help children develop eating skills at a pace that respects their readiness. This method teaches children the 32 different steps involved in eating, using playful, non-stressful interactions with food to build comfort and confidence. The program encourages children to explore a wide variety of food types and textures while reinforcing positive experiences through play and adult interaction. In addition to the SOS Approach, we assess and support oral motor coordination and strength, addressing any challenges like weak oral muscles or difficulty managing food in the mouth. This holistic approach helps children expand their food choices and improve mealtime behaviors, setting the foundation for healthy eating habits.

Fluency/Stuttering

Fluency is the smooth, timely, and effortless flow of speech. Stuttering is a speech disorder in which sounds, syllables, or words are involuntarily repeated, prolonged, or blocked, often accompanied by visible struggle or tension, disrupting that natural rhythm.

Speech Sound Disorders

Speech production refers to how a child sounds when they speak. A child's speech may be difficult for us to understand. This may be due to various motor/speech delays or neurological difficulty such as Childhood Apraxia of Speech.

Language and Communication

Language delays and disorders refer to difficulties with either understanding and/or generating language. This may include structural difficulties such as grammar and sentence formation. It can also include semantic or meaning-based challenges such as understanding vocabulary, retrieving known information, and remembering and/or understanding what they hear. Pragmatic language refers to social use and contextual understanding of language.

Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)

Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) refers to any tools, techniques, or systems—ranging from simple picture boards and manual signs to high‑tech speech‑generating devices—that supplement or replace natural speech for people whose verbal ability is limited. It provides a way to express needs, thoughts, and social interaction when typical spoken communication isn’t sufficient or possible.
