At BRAINS—A Service of Pine Rest, our occupational therapists help individuals build the skills they need to thrive in daily life—at home, at school, and in the community.

We focus on how the brain and body work together to support movement, regulation, and independence. When that connection is disrupted, it can lead to challenges with coordination, attention, emotions, or everyday tasks. Our team works with clients and families to understand these challenges and create practical, personalized solutions.

Who We Help

We support children and teens with:

• Sensory processing differences
• Emotional and behavioral regulation
• Motor coordination and fine motor skills
• Feeding and self-care routines
• Attention and executive functioning
• Developmental and neurological conditions

How Therapy Works

• Young children participate in hands-on, play-based activities that support motor skills, sensory integration, and emotional regulation.
• Teens work on goals through interest-based tasks that promote engagement and confidence.

Therapy That Fits Your Life

• Young children engage in play-based therapy that feels natural and fun—making it easier to apply new skills at home.
• Teens work on goals through activities that match their interests, helping them stay motivated and make lasting progress.

We use a variety of therapeutic approaches, including:

• Sensory integration techniques
• Feeding therapy
• Play and movement-based interventions
• Integrated Listening Systems (ILS)
• Functional rehabilitation strategies

A Whole-Person Approach

Our occupational therapists collaborate with BRAINS’ broader clinical team—including neuropsychologists, speech-language pathologists and counselors—to ensure each client receives comprehensive, coordinated care.
