FIRM FOUNDATIONS THERAPY

At Firm Foundations Therapy, we believe meaningful progress begins with understanding the foundational systems that support an individual’s ability to move, regulate, learn, and participate in everyday life. Our approach goes beyond focusing solely on a diagnosis or isolated skill. Instead, we consider the whole person and ask a deeper question: What underlying systems may be influencing the challenges we see on the surface? Rooted in principles of functional neurology, our bottom-up approach assesses foundational areas such as primitive reflexes, postural control, vestibular function, and oculomotor skills. We then consider how these systems may influence higher-level abilities, including emotional regulation, inhibitory control, attention, sustained focus, and working memory, as well as independence in daily activities. Firm Foundations Therapy was founded by occupational therapists who are also parents with firsthand experience raising a child with unique needs. Our practice combines individualized occupational therapy with neuro intensives and transcranial photobiomodulation when clinically appropriate. Each plan of care is tailored to the individual and family, with focused, collaborative care centered on meaningful everyday progress.
