Occupational therapy in Crawfordsville at K1ds Count Therapy helps children build the skills they need to participate confidently in everyday life.

Our goal is to help children grow in independence at home, succeed in school, and engage more fully in their community. Every treatment plan is individualized and designed around your child’s unique strengths and needs.
Pediatric occupational therapy at K1ds Count Therapy starts with a thorough evaluation of motor skills, sensory processing, and daily living abilities. We then create a personalized treatment plan that includes therapy sessions, progress checks, and goal-based discharge planning.
Your child’s occupational therapist keeps you informed with regular updates and practical strategies to support progress at home and school. Through ongoing collaboration with other K1ds Count Therapy professionals, children receive comprehensive, team-based care in Crawfordsville.
Based on age, there are milestones we’d expect to be achieved related to safety and emergency maintenance, money management, household chores, meal prep and cleanup, community navigation, care of others, and care of pets. Your KCT OT will assist in identifying what can and should be worked on in treatment sessions.
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.
Gross motor coordination and strength is 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’s most important job is to play! Did you know there are different types of play? Your KCT OT can assist in developing play skills with your child as it relates to expected developmental milestones.
Does your child have a variety of interests and preferred activities that are meaningful to them? Your KCT OT can assist in identifying prerequisite skills required to complete a desired activity, and address deficits based on expected developmental milestones.
