About Downtown Kids Therapy (Union Square)

Downtown Kids Therapy is a pediatric therapy clinic in Downtown Manhattan that provides occupational therapy alongside physical therapy and speech therapy services. The practice lists two New York City locations, including 32 Union Square East (Suite 400) and 179 Franklin Street. Occupational therapy at Downtown Kids Therapy is described as a child-centered service focused on functional skills and everyday activities, with an emphasis on play as a meaningful way for children to build independence and well-being.

According to the clinic, occupational therapists support children with areas such as sensory processing difficulties, self-care skills (including dressing and self-feeding), peer play and social interaction, upper extremity strength and endurance, motor planning, and school readiness skills such as pre-writing and handwriting. The clinic also notes collaboration with other providers (such as teachers, physical therapists, and speech therapists) to help skills carry over across settings, and it states that families may receive education programs and resources for home and school. The occupational therapy team page lists multiple pediatric occupational therapists, including Kayla Chan, MS, OTR/L; Ariana Feldman, MS, OTR/L; Patricia “Trish” Gasiewski, MS, OTR/L; Alexandra Glass, MS, OTR/L; Jill Kurzner, MS, OTR/L; Danni Jo Martincak, OTR/L; Jocelyn Melian, OTD, OTR/L; Rachel Shepherd, MS, OTR/L; and Caroline Zemsky, MS, OTR/L.
