About Theraplay Pediatrics

Theraplay Pediatrics LLC is an outpatient pediatric therapy clinic in Covington, Louisiana, located at 106 East 25th Ave. The clinic provides occupational therapy and speech therapy services for children and shares a mission of supporting children and families with care intended to help them grow and thrive. The team notes there is no waitlist for OT and speech therapy services, and appointments are scheduled directly with the office.

Occupational therapy at Theraplay Pediatrics is described as play-based and child-centered, with sessions designed around a child’s interests and internal motivation to encourage participation and skill building. Services include brief screenings to help determine whether a child may benefit from a formal evaluation, as well as initial evaluations and annual re-evaluations that include a written report and therapist recommendations. Treatment plans are individualized based on evaluation results and may address developmental areas such as fine and gross motor skills, sensory processing, self-help skills, play and social participation, school readiness, visual processing needs, and oral motor or oral sensory concerns related to feeding. The clinic also offers consultations that involve collaboration with teachers, other therapists, and professionals supporting the child, along with school observations (with appropriate permissions) to better understand challenges in a natural environment and provide practical recommendations. Occupational therapy team members featured on the website include Kristen Davis, LOTR (clinic owner), Tammi Lavin, LOTR, Kimberly Murphy, LCOTA, and Sarah Nasto, LCOTA, with staff experience and interests that include sensory integration, reflex integration, handwriting, feeding therapy, and sensory processing integration, supported by a family-centered approach and ongoing communication with parents.
