Our Team
As moms and occupational therapists Lourdes and Carly are very excited to share some of their thoughts, insights, and experiences with you. Their hope is that their book (Groovy Adventurers) will inspire you to really enjoy your time with your child and, above all, have the greatest amount of fun possible. As therapists working with young children and their families, they noticed that many of the children referred for occupational therapy had gaps in perceptual, sensory and motor skills that could have easily been eliminated by some focused fun time as they were developing the basics of these skills in the first few years of life.
