Welcome to Acorn Children’s Therapy

At Acorn, we understand the profound difficulty of watching your child struggle. Our mission is to help family have more good days, achieve their goals, and witness the joy of growth.

CHILD CENTERED

We seek, celebrate, and nurture each child’s individuality, focusing on it to facilitate growth.

EXPERIENCED STAFF

We are highly-trained, committed therapists who care about your child and your family.

TEAMWORK ORIENTED

We join with parents—and join parents to other providers—to give children the support they need.

A GROWTH ENVIRONMENT

In the safe space of our new facility, we foster a joy of growth, so children and families take pride in their progress.

Our Services

We use a multidisciplinary approach and consult with your child’s other providers (pediatrician, optometrist, psychologist, dietician, etc.). This helps ensure your child will have a consistent program of care.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy helps children improve their participation in all areas of life. Self care, feeding, social emotional skills, and—most importantly—play are the main occupations of childhood. In OT, we help children gain the skills to live life to the fullest.

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy helps children attain physical goals, including mobility, strength, coordination, endurance, and flexibility. Our goal is to give children increased independence and mobility so they can participate fully at school, home, and in the community.

Speech Therapy

Speech and language therapy helps children improve their communication. Treatment areas include articulation disorders, expressive and receptive language delays, and swallowing difficulties. Our goal is to help children gain skills to connect in daily life.

Areas of Focus

Children process the world around them through play. All therapy at Acorn utilizes child-centered play and a child’s unique skills and interests to facilitate growth across the areas of focus.

Executive Functioning

The main areas of executive functioning are working memory, flexible thinking, and self-control.

Feeding

Successful mealtimes require oral motor skills, sensory processing, and strength and coordination.

Fine Motor

Fine motor is the use of the small muscles in the wrists, hands, and fingers to complete everyday tasks.

Language

Language therapy is broken into the language we receive (receptive) and the language we use (expressive).

Pediatric Pelvic Health

Coordination, alignment, constipation management, sensation urges, and potty training are included in pelvic health.

Gross Motor Skills

Gross motor uses large muscle groups to improve balance, alignment, coordination, range, and strength.

Emotional Regulation

Interpersonal situations require varying degrees of social pragmatics (such as independence) and emotional regulation (such as self-control).

Sensory

Sensory processing is the way we effectively use our senses to take in information and process it.

Speech

Speech therapy addresses oral motor skills, strength, and breathing to improve verbal communication.

Joy + Growth

“Aley and Jill have worked with my son the past 3 years on a weekly basis. I can’t begin to tell you the difference they have made with our son and family! They have given him the confidence and skills to enter kindergarten this fall. Our son is excited to visit them each week and always walks away with a smile.”
