The website describes a pediatric, whole-child approach that looks at physical, cognitive, psychosocial, and sensory-perceptual performance across everyday environments. Care is designed to support participation in daily routines and help children build skills that improve health, well-being, and quality of life.

According to the practice website, services may address attention, activities of daily living such as feeding, dressing, and bathing, oral motor and sensory feeding needs, fine motor development, handwriting, motor planning, sensory processing and regulation, social skills, strengthening and balance, and visual motor and visual perceptual skills. Lighting the Way states that treatment planning involves assessing each child’s needs and limitations, then working with the family to create an individualized plan of care with achievable goals. The site also notes that home education is part of the therapy process.
