Our Approach to School Readiness & Social Skills OT
Supporting Focus, Confidence, and Everyday Success
At KB Therapy, we believe that children develop confidence and success most effectively when learning skills in the environments where they interact daily. During sessions, KB observes your child in school or play-based settings, paying attention to attention, self-regulation, and social interactions to identify both strengths and challenges.
Rather than relying on complicated or unrealistic interventions, our approach focuses on practical strategies that can be seamlessly integrated into classroom routines or social activities. This may include structured movement breaks, guided peer interactions, or sensory tools that help children stay focused and engaged.
Collaboration is key. KB works directly with teachers, parents, and support staff to demonstrate strategies, answer questions, and ensure consistent application. By aligning support across home, school, and social settings, we help children build skills, confidence, and the ability to thrive in every environment.
