Exploratory OT Sessions
Endless possibilities and transformational experiences of growth and development are on the horizon at Little Roots! But maybe you’re still wondering what occupational therapy exactly is, and how we can help your child.
Your child might need the support of an occupational therapist if they have challenges with motor skills, balance, coordination, sensory processing, or other areas. Occupational therapy evaluation and treatment can help children with developmental delays and differences become more independent and functional in their daily lives. It can also help with physical, cognitive, or behavioral conditions.
Little Roots specializes in sensory processing integration. A typically developing child can have sensory differences, as well as children with autism, ADHD, sensory processing disorder, dyspraxia and other developmental disorders. We are here to help you understand how your little takes in the world, processes their experiences, interacts with their environments, and what they need to regulate and “feed” their nervous and sensory systems. We are here to challenge your child and help them succeed!

Fun-Filled Yoga Classes
Jump into the imagination zone and soar with excitement while exploring new skills and abilities at Little Roots! But maybe you’re not sure of all the amazing benefits that children’s yoga can offer.
In a way, yoga is a scheduled negative time for your child, where they can decompress from busy schedules and long days. Yoga supports a child's language and communication skills, cognitive abilities, movement and physical development, and social emotional learning. Newer research shows that yoga not only helps with a child’s balance, coordination and posture, but also enhances their emotional expression, empathy and self-esteem. Yoga can is a valuable tool for managing stress, emotions and relationships.
A study from 2015 demonstrated that yoga can be an effective way to reduce some core symptoms of ADHD. The study used 8 randomized controlled trials to look at symptoms like inattention, hyperactivity or impulsiveness. The goal was to see whether exercise could have an impact on ADHD and the results were positive. Yoga and aerobic exercise were looked at separately, and the study suggested that yoga could improve core ADHD symptoms.
