How we can help you!
FUNctional Kids helps preschool aged children learn flexible thinking for understanding the social world.
Endless chances for skill mastery and caregiver enlightenment
We're all about creating exhilarating experiences for children in their most comfortable settings! That's why we love delivering our services right where they feel most at home - whether it's their cozy house or their lively daycare/preschool.
We've got a fantastic therapy clinic too, where we bring out all the exciting tools and gear to turbocharge their progress. It’s the perfect place to conquer unfamiliar sensory challenges and provides an opportunity for kids to meet and bond with their peers within our social and developmental groups.
You’ll be asked to complete simple intake forms to give us a better idea of your child’s history and current challenges prior to our evaluation.
03
Evaluation
You'll meet the therapist, ask questions, and share additional concerns. A comprehensive evaluation may include the use of standardized tests, a clinical observation, and parent interview.
04
Results & Plan of Care
After the evaluation is completed the therapist will review the results and work with you to establish goals that are important to your family. You’ll work with the therapist to determine treatment frequency and schedule sessions.
05
Treatment Sessions
Sessions may include one on one therapy, including siblings in playful interactions, including parents in guiding therapy, and/or working with teachers to determine strategies for the school setting.

We love seeing Sarah for OT for our 4 year old son. He asks all the time when he gets to see her next. He says “Sarah helps me learn how to control my body” :)

My son LOVES going to therapy with Sarah! He looks forward to his session all week! He is showing so much improvement in a short time and Sarah gives us tools to use at home, at school, in public areas, really anywhere. Our communication is so open and easy and she makes obtainable yet challenging goals for my son and our family as a whole. We are so happy we found FUNctional Kids!

We worked with Functional Kids for over a year for both of our children. One child is neurotypical and the other is neurodiverse (Autism-Level 1, ADHD).
OT for our neurotypical child was great. We had no complaints. However, our child with autism struggled with OT. Every week, the Occupational Therapist would send our child into crisis level behavioral episodes and was never able to get them to deescalate (and yes, we gave our child many different motivators and reminders to help support the OT). We worked with multiple other therapists (speech and ABA) at the same point in time, and no one else pushed our child to this extreme level of behavior.
If you have a neurotypical child in need of fine motor or feeding therapy, then this is a great clinic. However, if you have a child with autism that needs sensory or behavioral supports, I recommend looking into another clinic.

Professional, excellent communication, organized, immaculately clean. I've been searching for a great place where my son would feel comfortable to receive OT services and Functional Kids has blown my expectations out of the water! Miss Kimberly makes my son feel safe, secure, loved and supported as he works toward goals we've set. He trusts her and is smiling and happy throughout their entire session. I am over the moon thrilled that he loves his therapy days and doesn't fear going, and also that we are seeing almost immediate positive results! 10/10!

Functional Kids has been very helpful for our family. Their evaluations are thorough and they give kids and parents accessible tools for navigating sensory and behavioral challenges. My child looks forward to her appointments with Taylor each week, and I can tell a difference in my child in the short time they have been working together. Thank you FUNctional Kids and thank you Taylor!
