About O T Works For Kids

OT Works For Kids is a pediatric occupational therapy practice in Norwalk, Connecticut, serving children of all ages. The practice has been helping families since 1999 and focuses on evaluating and treating challenges that can affect daily activities and learning. Areas highlighted by the clinic include self-regulation and sensory processing differences, attention and focus concerns in school, and developmental delays that may involve gross and fine motor coordination, balance, strength, and visual-motor skills. Therapy is described as using purposeful activities to support child development and build everyday living skills, with many clinic activities presented through play in a sensory-rich environment.

The practice is led by Terri R. Epstein, OTR/L, founder and owner. The website notes her pediatric specialization, experience in neonatal intensive care, and prior role as a Clinical Specialist in Pediatrics at Norwalk Hospital. The clinic lists evaluation options that include Sensory Integration and Praxis Tests (SIPT), standardized testing of gross and fine motor skills, standardized testing of visual-motor integration and related areas (including motor coordination and visual perception), handwriting skills testing, and sensory processing observations. Additional evaluation components described include developmental milestones, muscle tone and strength, joint range of motion, reflex development and maturation, motor planning abilities, infant development, and a child’s ability to interact with the environment. OT Works For Kids also describes service offerings such as sensory processing (integration) therapy, handwriting programs, listening programs aimed at improving attention and concentration, individualized therapy with home programs, support for middle schoolers with organization and school work, and facilitation of gross and fine motor development. The clinic’s site also notes multiple local and business award recognitions in recent years.
