K1ds Count Therapy provides pediatric occupational therapy in Lebanon, IN, giving children the everyday skills, confidence, and independence they need to take on daily routines at home, at school, and in the community.
Our Lebanon therapists build individualized plans around movement, sensory processing, emotional regulation, self-care, and school readiness, then work closely with families so those gains carry over well beyond the clinic walls.
Alongside occupational therapy, our Lebanon clinic also offers mental health, physical, speech, and ABA therapy services, so your family can find the full care team your child needs in one place.
At K1ds Count Therapy, our occupational therapy in Lebanon, IN, helps children build the skills they need to thrive at home, at school, and around the community.
Every child begins with a thorough evaluation, followed by individualized treatment sessions, regular progress reviews, and thoughtful discharge planning. Your child’s occupational therapist will keep you informed with regular updates and practical strategies for reinforcing skills outside of the clinic.
Our Lebanon occupational therapists complete state-required continuing education and receive an annual CEU stipend from K1ds Count Therapy to support their ongoing clinical growth. They also collaborate regularly with our mental health, physical, speech, and ABA therapy teams at the Lebanon clinic, so your child receives coordinated, well-rounded care from a team that knows their full picture.
Does your child have a restrictive diet or preference for only a small amount of foods? Our occupational therapists address pediatric feeding concerns related to the toleration of sensory experiences with food.
This might include play-based exposure to novel or non-preferred foods from a hierarchical sensory approach or providing education and suggestions on stress-free mealtime routines.
KCT OTs work closely with our speech therapists to identify the need for additional oral motor-based feeding intervention, and make appropriate referrals as indicated.
Fine motor skills are vital for manipulating items in our environments. Delays in fine motor manipulation skills or deficits in upper extremity strength can impact the way we perform at school, home, and in the community.
Your KCT OT will be able to identify if deficits in fine motor skills are present, and how these can be addressed at home and in the clinic setting.
Visual-motor integration is complex, and continues to expand and refine across early developmental periods. VMI relies on the combination of fine and gross motor control and precision, visual perception and acuity, and oculomotor control.
There are many VMI milestones expected to be reached across infancy through adolescence. Your KCT OT will assist in identifying deficits, addressing skills in sessions, and referring to other specialists if indicated.
Gross motor coordination and strength are fundamental in facilitating most complex fine and visual motor skills.
Our KCT OTs can identify and address deficits in gross motor milestones and strength as it relates to the upper extremities and core, and may refer your child for PT services if appropriate.
Every child’s brain perceives and interprets sensory input in a unique way. When differences in sensory integration and processing are present, it can lead to difficulties in participation across environments (home, school, community).
Our KCT OTs can identify and address differences in sensory integration to facilitate enhanced engagement and toleration of stimuli across settings.
The ability to regulate emotions is inherent in participation across environments, as well as establishing and maintaining relationships with peers, friends, teachers, and family members. Emotion regulation can also be strongly tied to sensory integration.
Your KCT OT will be able to assess and identify deficits in emotion regulation and work with you to identify strategies across environments.
Executive functioning skills guide every action and decision we make. These skills continue to develop over time as a child’s brain grows and changes. Executive functioning includes attention, memory, organization, planning, problem solving, cognition, and sequencing.
Our OTs can identify and address deficits in executive functioning as they relate to expected age-appropriate skills and tasks.
A child can start occupational therapy as soon as developmental concerns are noticed, such as challenges with fine motor skills, sensory processing, self-care tasks like dressing or feeding, attention, emotional regulation, or play skills.
Early intervention is often beneficial, but occupational therapy can help at any age when a child needs more support to participate fully in daily life.
