How We Work

Capable Kids works through a pediatric occupational therapy–informed lens to support children’s development within the context of everyday life.

 

We begin by partnering closely with parents to understand each child’s strengths, challenges, and daily routines. From there, we develop thoughtful, developmentally appropriate strategies that address underlying sensory, regulatory, and executive functioning needs.

​

Our approach is collaborative and practical, with a strong emphasis on parent education, clear communication, and meaningful carryover between sessions. Support evolves over time as children build skills, confidence, and independence, ensuring strategies remain relevant, respectful, and effective.

​

We commonly support children with ADHD-related challenges and dyslexia or language-based learning differences, focusing on practical strategies that build confidence and participation at home and school.

FAQ

Is Capable Kids an occupational therapy practice?

Capable Kids is pediatric occupational therapy–informed, but services are non-clinical and educational. We do not provide therapy, diagnosis, or medical treatment.

​

How does occupational therapy inform your work?

Our services are grounded in OT principles that focus on participation in daily activities, sensory regulation, and functional skill development. This lens guides how we assess needs and develop strategies.

​

Is executive functioning coaching still part of your services?

Yes. Executive functioning is one of several areas supported through an occupational therapy framework, alongside sensory regulation and daily life skills.

​

Who is a good fit?

Children who:

  • Are in general education settings

  • Benefit from OT-informed strategies

  • Need support with regulation, routines, or executive functioning

  • Are not receiving intensive clinical or school-based OT services

​

Do you work with children who have ADHD or dyslexia?

Yes. Capable Kids supports children with ADHD-related challenges and dyslexia when needs align with regulation, executive functioning, and participation in daily activities. Services are OT-informed and educational, and focus on practical strategies rather than diagnosis or treatment.

​

Do you work with children who have diagnoses?

We do not focus on diagnoses. Services are based on functional needs and participation in daily life.

 

How often are sessions scheduled?

Session frequency is individualized. Some children benefit from short-term intensive support, while others progress best with weekly or bi-weekly sessions. Frequency is adjusted as skills develop.

 

Do parents need to attend sessions?

Parent involvement is encouraged and supported. Parents receive regular communication and guidance to help reinforce strategies at home.

 

Is online coaching effective?

Yes. Online coaching allows for flexible scheduling, consistent parent communication, and practical strategy development that integrates into daily routines.
