OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY

Our occupational therapy focuses on helping children develop the skills they need for daily life through meaningful, sensory-rich activities. We aim to support independence, emotional regulation, and developmental growth in a fun, engaging, and supportive environment.

FEEDING THERAPY

Our registered SOS-trained feeding therapist uses a combination of play-based therapy and sensory-rich activities to help children overcome difficulties with texture, taste, or oral motor skills.

At Milestones in Motion, we utilize the SOS (Sequential Oral Sensory) Approach to Feeding—a gold-standard, transdisciplinary program designed to help picky eaters and problem feeders build a positive relationship with food.

Eating is the most complex task a child does. It requires every single sensory system, muscle group, and developmental skill to work in harmony. Rather than forcing a child to eat, the SOS model respects their developmental limits and addresses the root causes of feeding difficulties—whether they are sensory, motor, physical, or behavioral.

How it works:

The Steps to Eating: We guide children through a natural, 32-step developmental hierarchy of eating—starting simply with being in the same room as a food, progressing to touching, smelling, tasting, and finally, swallowing.
Play-Based Exploration: We use playful, non-stressful sensory exploration to desensitize oral-sensory aversion and make trying new foods feel safe and fun.
Parent Empowerment: We partner with parents to teach practical, at-home mealtime strategies that reduce anxiety and eliminate power struggles at the dinner table.

If mealtimes have become a source of stress for your family, our SOS-based feeding therapy can help your child safely expand their diet and discover the joy of eating.

SENSORY THERAPY

Sensory therapy is a powerful tool that helps children thrive emotionally, socially, and cognitively. Through tailored, play-based sessions, we bring therapy directly to your home, school, or community for convenience and consistency. With personalized plans developed from occupational therapy evaluations, we work closely with parents to meet each child’s needs—whether in after-school programs or early intervention therapy.

PRIMITIVE REFLEX INTEGRATION

Primitive reflexes are automatic movements developed in infancy that help form the building blocks for posture, coordination, and learning. When these reflexes are retained beyond early childhood, they can interfere with attention, movement, and behavior. I offer individualized assessment and therapeutic activities designed to help integrate these reflexes, supporting improved regulation, academic readiness, and motor coordination.

LIFE SKILLS CONSULTATION

Milestones in Motion is pleased to offer specialized, online Life Skills Consultations. This telehealth service utilizes clinical task analysis, environmental modification, and neurodevelopmental principles to address functional limitations in a child's daily life at home.

SPEECH & LANGUAGE THERAPY

Our speech-language services are designed to support children and young adults in developing the communication skills they need to thrive at home, in school, and in the community. We provide individualized, evidence-based therapy to address a wide range of speech and language needs, including:

Articulation & Speech Sound Disorders: Helping children speak clearly and confidently.
Language Development: Building skills in vocabulary, grammar, comprehension, and expression.

Social Communication: Supporting children in learning how to engage with peers, take turns, and understand social cues.

Augmentative & Alternative Communication (AAC): Providing support and training with AAC devices and systems to ensure every child has a voice.

Our approach is family-centered and collaborative, ensuring that caregivers are actively involved in the therapy process. Each session is tailored to your child’s unique strengths and challenges, with engaging, play-based activities that promote meaningful progress.

Whether your child is working on first words, developing conversation skills, or learning to use technology to communicate, we are here to support their journey every step of the way.

BEHAVIOR SERVICES

Family Consulting with Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) uses evidence-based practices to provide support to the child and their family. Services are provided by a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who will work with the client and their family to create an individualized intervention. Behavior services are provided as a coaching and training service model.

Individualized Interventions: The treatment plans are developed at the child’s current skill and behavior levels and work to create an environment that reinforces the development of new skills while decreasing undesirable behaviors.
Whole family Services: Our services are for the whole family. Working with the family to strategize and plan for routines and the correct response to challenging situations is the key to success.
Targeting daily challenges: Children encounter tasks each day that can be nonpreferred or difficult; with the implementation of appropriate support, these challenges may become less distressing.
Targeting skill and behavior deficits: Part of the goal of ABA is to create an environment that reinforces preferred behaviors so that the child will be motivated to engage in these behaviors rather than problem behaviors.
Supporting and empowering the family: Children will face challenges all the way to adulthood. Preparing the family on how to address these concerns now will give our families the tools they need to help their children into adulthood.

ABA takes many forms when assisting children to deal with challenges and create new skills. The goal of our family consulting is not to replace schools or traditional 1-on-1 services but to give families access to tools and resources that may not be readily available. This is not just a 1-on-1 service but a service that addresses the challenge and trains caregivers on how to best prepare their children for success.

PEDIATRIC MENTAL HEALTH & COUNSELING SERVICES

Our pediatric mental health & counseling services provide compassionate, supportive care for children and adolescents experiencing emotional, behavioral, or social challenges. We understand that every child is different, which is why our approach is centered on creating a safe, comfortable environment where young patients can express themselves openly and feel understood.

Our counseling services can support children dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, behavioral concerns, low self-esteem, family changes, school-related difficulties, grief, and challenges with social relationships. Through age-appropriate counseling techniques, we help children develop healthy coping skills, improve communication, manage emotions, and build confidence.

We also work closely with parents when appropriate, providing guidance and practical strategies that can support a child’s emotional well-being at home and in everyday situations. Our goal is to work together with families to better understand each child’s needs and create a personalized path toward positive growth.

Whether your child is facing a temporary challenge or needs ongoing emotional support, our pediatric mental health and counseling services are designed to provide understanding, encouragement, and professional care. We are committed to helping children and families navigate challenges while building the skills needed for healthier emotional development and a stronger future.
