Our Services
Hands in Harmony offers tailored therapy programs focusing on sensory integration, motor skills, rehabilitation, play, social skills, and emotional regulation for optimal development.
Sensory Integration
Much of our uniqueness comes from the way we process sensory information. This can be the reason a person may avoid large groups of people, or seek out activities which increase adrenaline, as examples. When a person is over or under stimulated this can affect regulation and their ability to complete meaningful tasks. Therapeutic Listening, Astronaut Training, Sensory Diet, and environmental modifications are some of the modalities and programs utilized to address this area.
Motor Skill Development
The ability to move efficiently in the environment and to manipulate items with our hands are integral parts of engaging with the world. Whether it is writing, running, making breakfast or tying our shoes, fine motor and gross motor function is of paramount importance in our lives.
Social Skills
So often taken for granted, a conversation is a very complex experience. It involves integrating a bevy of sensory input, processing language, body language and context while improvising an appropriate response that moves an idea or activity forward. Utilizing sensory integration techniques and a modified floor time approach, we pinpoint areas of need and enrich social skills through play.
Self-Regulation
Play Skills
Holistic Approach
The importance of play for children and adults is chronically undervalued. Just as adults have jobs, a child’s job is to play. Through play, a child engages in creativity, problem solving, and communication by having fun and remaining open to ideas. There is no better way to learn.
To engage in any activity a person has to be regulated. You can’t be asleep in class and expect to learn, but you can’t be bouncing off of the walls and expect to retain information either. Utilizing self awareness programs such as The ALERT program, we help the individual assess their own regulation and teach strategies to address dysregulation.
We foster social interactions and communication skills, enabling clients to build relationships and navigate social situations with confidence and ease.
Client Experiences
Michel: "Bobby is such an amazing OT has done amazing work with my son. Bobby has made such an improvement in my son’s life and we are so thankful to have him on our team. We had several other OT’s that were unable to develop rapport or work successfully with my son and Bobby has passed all of our expectations! He makes all the sessions super fun and exiting.

Wouldn't you rather be outside?
More and more research continues to indicate that activities in nature, such as playing, hiking, gardening (or even sitting and appreciating)have not only a positive impact in regards to well being, but also can decrease anxiety, enhance cognition and aid in regulation. Therefore, when appropriate and weather permitting, therapy sessions will be conducted at parks, playgrounds or other appropriate outside settings. We also try to find outdoor areas close to your home for your convenience.
For Your Convenience
If outdoor locations are not utilized, therapy sessions will occur in the home.
