Before starting occupational therapy, Daphne was much more sensitive to environmental discomforts. However, things have been changing for her since meeting with Julie. Historically, getting Daphne to wear sunscreen was always a battle. Also, Daphne avoided being in the rain, and at times felt anxious or even cried when she couldn’t avoid it. But on our recent vacation we had some pleasant surprises. Daphne said the sunscreen felt good when applied. Additionally, when sand accidentally got mixe din the sunscreen, she said it hurt a little but she tolerated it. This was a truly amazing transformation for her. These and other changes have come about after doing OT with Sensory Solutions. Now Daphne is better able to cope with her environment and participate in life more fully. We are grateful for how positively she and our family have been effected by OT.

Since Aiden started receiving therapy at Sensory Solutions a little over two years ago, I am continually amazed by the progress he is making thanks to his wonderful therapists and the team at Sensory Solutions. By addressing all of his needs in an integrated and collaborative way, he began making gains almost immediately. Aiden’s therapists do an excellent job of meeting him where he is each week, and tailoring his therapy to meet his unique needs. When Aiden started at Sensory Solutions he primarily used sign language to communicate; his therapists helped him communicate with sign language and used that as a bridge to speech. His therapists have worked together to ensure his sensory needs are met, along with his speech and motor needs, which has been critical to his success. As a parent, I have felt empowered and better able to help Aiden through the knowledge his therapists share. Aiden feels cared for and supported at Sensory Solutions, and looks forward to therapy each week. His strong relationships with his therapists are a credit to his therapists and a huge motivator for him. Aiden’s therapists know him and his abilities, and are truly dedicated to helping him reach his full potential.

Julie has been an amazing gift to our family. We asked for help because Sierra was not bringing any food to her mouth and was resisting feeding utensils coming toward her mouth. Through Julie’s guidance we have come to learn about sensory processing disorder and how to best support Sierra. We have also come to realize we as parents are not alone in our challenges with our daughter. Sierra has made incredible progress with Julie’s help.

Our daughter has been working with the therapists at Sensory Solutions for over three years. The individualized attention, genuine care and concern and overall professionalism has been nothing less than incredible. We work together as a “team” to discuss our daughters difficulties/struggles, come up with strategies to help her and also to plan for the future. This connection between our family and the Sensory Solutions family has truly contributed to the success for our daughter and has helped the transition to school become easier for her. We have seen wonderful progress and growth in our daughter since we started and are incredibly thankful to have those at Sensory Solutions be a part of our journey.

Luke has come so far in his gross and fine motor skills and overall awareness of his self and body since starting OT at Sensory Solutions! The tools we have been given and what we have learned is invaluable. As a child who does not like being outside and struggles with motor coordination, Luke has now taken to riding his scooter! He now asks to go outside and ride, and he smiles while riding which melts our hearts! He is a confident young man now.
