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.
