Birth - age 18: Welcome to Hand In Hand Occupational Therapy Services!

My name is Suzanne Hodgkins. I've been an Occupational Therapist for 29 years and I love my work. I've enjoyed working with children in school and clinic settings for over 9 years, specifically addressing

Autism
ADHD
Balance and Coordination
Behavior and Self Regulation
Cerebral Palsy
Executive Function
Learning and Memory
Fine and gross motor challenges
Handwriting
Oculomotor Function
Praxis/Motor Planning
Reflex Integration
Self Care
Sensory Integration Disorder
Sensory Processing Disorder
Tone and Postural Control
Visual Motor Integration
Multi-needs

With youth and neuroplasticity on their side, I love to create opportunities for growth and targeted treatment plans to address challenges and help our little ones grow and thrive.

Sensory Processing and Self-Regulation:

Does your child have difficulty with self-regulation, processing sensory information and responding appropriately, engaging and participating in age appropriate life skills and self care?

Sensory Processing is just another way that we can help regulate our nervous system to help us function more smoothly in a challenging world.

Executive Function Skills:

Is your child organized, and able to master age appropriate life skills in a timely manner? Is your child able to attend well in school, able to read, write and learn without difficulty? Are there difficulties with transitions, initiating difficult tasks, planning and completing tasks?

Did you know that if you are dysregulated, you will be "stuck" in a reactive place? It's very difficult for a stressed person to access calm, thoughtful responses to challenges in their environment, yet we think children are just "misbehaving."

Sensory Processing, Coordination, Balance, Motor Planning, Fine Motor, Visual Motor, Visual Perception, and Gross Motor Skills:

Does your child struggle with balance, coordination, low endurance, motor planning, and problem solving?

Did you know that occupational therapy can use Hippotherapy (equine movement) to elicit growth and change in many areas of function - not just motor, but also social emotional skills?

Reflex Integration:

Does your child get car sick, toe walk, have difficulty with near and far point copying, bedwetting, attention and focus?

Reflex Integration (RMTI) is a neuro-developmental approach that allows the child to revisit and integrate retained primitive reflexes that influence functional development of balance, coordination, oculomotor development, visual attention and self regulation.

"If you had told me 2 months ago that my child would have been able to do what she did tonight , I would never have believed you." Susan L.
