We OT & We Peds OT

We OT is a licensed pediatric occupational therapy practice is located in Chapel Hill, NC. We Peds OT offers child and family-centered care, including parent coaching, to support overcoming obstacles in fine motor, emotional regulation, visual motor, sensory processing, primitive reflex integration, and social emotional interactions. We Peds OT provides social-emotional occupational therapy for children through the Floortime® model—a developmental approach that meets each child where they are, while also supporting parents in navigating family life. Grounded in sensory processing and play, We Peds OT fosters reciprocal interactions between the child, the therapist, and the parent in a safe environment. Through Floortime®, we join the child's 'world' and begin to their world experience with them. Where the child finds joy serves as the vehicle to drive therapy. We expand upon their play to create shared experiences in that joy. As a team, we walk through the social emotional developmental ladder to further expand awareness of self, of another, and of those around us. Together, 'We all' create space for experiencing emotions and overcoming regulation hurdles through shared problem-solving to build residency and flexibility.
