Occupational therapy (OT) helps children develop the skills they use every day, from holding a pencil and getting dressed to handling big feelings and eating a wider range of foods. At Kentucky Therapy Solutions, our occupational therapists use play-based, family-centered care to help children gain independence and confidence. With locations in Lexington and Georgetown, we serve families across Central Kentucky.

What we treat

• Fine motor skills: Hand strength and coordination for buttoning, zipping, using scissors, and grasping a pencil.
• Handwriting and visual-motor skills: Letter formation, copying, and the eye-hand coordination needed for school.
• Gross motor skills and coordination: Balance, body awareness, and coordination for playground, sports, and daily movement.
• Sensory processing: Support for children who are over- or under-sensitive to sounds, textures, movement, or touch.
• Emotional regulation: Tools and strategies to help children manage big feelings, handle transitions, and calm their bodies and minds.
• Reflex integration: Movement-based activities that support the nervous system when early reflexes are still active. For example: A strong startle response to sudden sounds or touch, difficulty crossing the middle of the body, which can affect reading, writing, and coordination or trouble with pencil grip or hand control.
• Self-care and daily living skills: Dressing, toileting, grooming, and independence at home and school.
• Attention, organization, and executive function: Strategies for focus, planning, and following routines.
• Feeding and mealtime challenges: Our OT is trained in the SOS (Sequential Oral Sensory) Approach to Feeding, a play-based method that helps children comfortably explore and accept new foods.
