About Building Blocks Pediatric Occupational Therapy Services

Building Blocks Pediatric Occupational Therapy Services is a pediatric occupational therapy practice serving children from birth through adolescence in Connecticut. The practice describes its clinic as warm, welcoming, and designed to feel comfortable and fun for children and families. Building Blocks shares that it works not only with the child, but also collaborates with and educates parents and caregivers, and supports the broader team involved in a child’s care.

Occupational therapy at Building Blocks begins with a comprehensive evaluation that uses standardized assessments, clinical observation, and parent collaboration. The clinic notes that evaluation complexity can vary, and that the process may include reviewing developmental history and prior reports, considering motor, sensory, self-care, and school-related skills, and producing a written report with recommendations and a treatment plan with measurable goals. Ongoing intervention is provided by licensed occupational therapists and/or a certified occupational therapy assistant under supervision, with session length typically ranging from 45 to 60 minutes and scheduling based on the child’s needs. Reported areas addressed in therapy include fine and gross motor development, visual motor and visual perceptual skills, handwriting support, motor planning, balance and coordination, core and upper body strength, and daily living skills such as dressing, feeding, grooming, and hygiene. The clinic also lists sensory integration therapy and additional approaches such as therapeutic listening, primitive reflex integration, oral motor and feeding therapy, aquatic therapy, and social-emotional skill building. Building Blocks also indicates that group options may be available, including social skills groups and specialized programs such as handwriting-focused groups.
