About Kids In Motion Therapy Center

Kids in Motion Therapy Center, Inc. is a private pediatric clinic located at 100 Waverly Street, Suite 103, in Ashland, Massachusetts. The center provides occupational therapy and speech therapy for children and adolescents, including specialized services for infants and young children. Its therapists are trained to work with infants as young as six months and can coordinate with Early Intervention professionals, schools, physicians, and other providers involved in a child’s care. The website identifies autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, and developmental delays among the diagnoses supported through its infant and early childhood services.

Occupational therapy at Kids in Motion is designed to help children improve functional ability and independence in everyday activities. Treatment may address sensory processing, self-regulation, gross and fine motor development, visual motor skills, core strength and endurance, play skills, handwriting, social skills, and self-care activities such as dressing, grooming, feeding, utensil use, and tying shoes. The clinic uses an individualized, movement-focused, and play-based approach intended to keep children engaged while developing practical skills. Sensory integration activities may include swinging, resistive body work, therapeutic brushing, and messy play. Therapists may also use obstacle courses, exercises, sensory swings, trampolines, balance equipment, monkey bars, and a rock wall to support motor planning, coordination, strength, balance, postural control, and body awareness. The facility includes sensory gyms designed to provide a safe and motivating environment for therapy. All treatment is provided at the clinic rather than in homes, schools, or day care settings. Debora Magalhaes, MOTR/L, is identified as the owner and clinic director.
