MOTORvate KIDS Occupational Therapy Provides occupational therapy services for children with sensory and motor skill challenges. Motorvate Kids operates on a private pay model.

Motorvate Kids OT is dedicated to inspiring a passion for participation in children who have difficulty keeping up with their peers due to sensory and motor challenges. Motorvate Kids provides personal attention and care to each child with intervention strategies that are fun, progressively challenging, and uniquely designed to meet each child's individual needs. Motorvate Kids OT offers screenings, evaluations, individual therapy sessions and group clinics for children ages 3 to 12 with or without a diagnosis. Areas of focus include fine motor, visual motor, gross motor and sensory processing skills. Services are provided on site at preschools, daycares, private grade schools and in the home. The OT collaborates regularly with the parents, caregivers, and teachers to provide updates on progress and recommendations for strategies to be used at school and in the home. Sensory and motor challenges in children can often be mistaken as behavioral concerns, learning delays, or even lack of effort. An OT screening and evaluation sheds light on hidden skill weaknesses-- the first step toward improved skill performance, strengthened confidence, and motivated participation in new activities.

🧠💡 How Can You Tell if Your Child is Struggling With Self-Regulation?

🙈 Grab or touch objects impulsively
🤣 Act overly silly or “out of control”
😡 Have tantrums or meltdowns
🔄 Struggle with transitions between activities
⏳ Have difficulty waiting or taking turns
🧍‍♂️↔️🧍‍♀️ Struggle with being in close proximity to others (e.g. circle time)
😤 Demonstrate problems and frustration during social interactions (e.g. talking too loud, standing too close, touching others)
🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️ Have difficulty walking or waiting in line
⚡ Move too quickly or with too much force

These simple tips and activities can improve the way kids hold their pencils! ✏️ via The Inspired Treehouse
✍️ Draw, write, or color in prone position
✍️ Use shortened writing utensils like library or gold pencils
✍️ Break crayons into smaller pieces and use for coloring
✍️ Draw, write, or paint on a vertical surface
✍️ Work on core strength! Remember, proximal stability is the foundation for distal mobility.
✍️ Use colored tape to mark where kids should grasp their pencil
✍️ Try tucking a small object like a bead into the child’s 4th and 5th fingers while they grasp a pencil. This will promote the use of the “tripod fingers”.

🌀 The vestibular system isn’t just about balance—it’s the foundation for how kids move, learn, and feel!

👶 It’s one of the first systems to develop and plays a HUGE role in physical, emotional, and cognitive growth.

🎯 Supporting it through movement & play helps kids focus, feel calm, and thrive in school and life.
