About OTA - Wakefield

Occupational Therapy Associates (OTA) is a pediatric therapy practice serving families from its Wakefield, Massachusetts clinic at 107 Audubon Rd, Bldg 1, Ste. 10, Wakefield, MA 01880, with a second clinic in Bedford. Founded in 1989, OTA provides pediatric occupational therapy alongside pediatric speech and feeding therapy. The clinics are designed for children and include spaces such as sensory gyms, calm-down rooms, feeding kitchens, and areas dedicated to crafts, handwriting, play, and learning.

OTA emphasizes individualized, family-centered care with a whole-child perspective that considers a child’s routines and participation at home, school, and in the community. Pediatric occupational therapy at OTA is described as play-based and tailored to each child, with evaluation used to understand strengths and challenges before building a plan of care. The practice notes OT may support needs related to sensory over- or under-responsivity, emotional and behavioral self-regulation, postural strength or muscle tone, coordination and motor planning, fine motor skills (including fasteners and handwriting), visual skills, and picky eating or food aversions. OTA also references working with children who have diagnoses such as developmental delays, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorder, and ADHD. Evidence-based programs and approaches referenced by OTA include Zones of Regulation, the Alert Program, Social Thinking Curriculum, and Learning Without Tears. OTA also highlights ongoing training and mentorship for clinicians, supported by a leadership team that includes occupational therapy leaders such as Jamie Morgan, M.S., OTR/L, Elizabeth Tontini-L’heureux, MS, OTR/L, and Talia Miller, M.O.T., OTR/L.
