Mobile Pediatric Occupational Therapy Services in Vero Beach
Looking for a trusted pediatric OT in Vero Beach? Blossom & Bloom tailors their approach to each child to develop skills in play, self-help, emotional regulation, and social skills.
What is Pediatric Occupational Therapy?
Pediatric Occupational Therapy (OT) is a type of therapy specially designed to help children develop essential skills for everyday activities and tasks. It focuses on improving a child's physical, cognitive, sensory, and emotional abilities, so they can participate more effectively in school, play, self-care, and social interactions. The occupational therapists use fun and engaging activities to encourage children to reach their developmental milestones and overcome any challenges they might face.
How can Pediatric OT help my child?
Pediatric OT can be a game-changer for your child's growth and well-being! This therapy addresses a wide range of challenges, including motor skill difficulties, learning disabilities, sensory processing issues, and emotional regulation struggles. By tailoring interventions to your child's unique needs, pediatric OT helps them build self-confidence, independence, and resilience.
Through playful and motivating activities, therapists work on enhancing children’s fine and gross motor skills, problem-solving abilities, and social interactions. The result? Your child can better navigate their daily routines and fully engage in the world around them.
How can mobile occupational therapy address my child’s challenges?
Mobile occupational therapy is a fantastic solution for addressing your child's challenges right in their comfort zone! Instead of going to a therapy center, the therapists come to your child's natural environment, be it at home, daycare, school, or even in the community. This approach allows the therapists to observe your child's behavior and needs in familiar settings, gaining valuable insights to create personalized interventions.
By utilizing your child's everyday surroundings, therapists can develop strategies to improve their skills and adapt them to real-life situations. This flexibility and convenience make mobile occupational therapy an excellent option to support your child's progress and make therapy a stress-free and positive experience for both of you!

"Ms. Jenna is a very professional and attentive occupational therapist. She was always great in explanation of treatment and help with pinpointing problem areas as well as exercises to overcome any issues. My son worked with her for almost 2 years and now is excelling well in VPK. I can not thank Ms. Jenna enough for the progress seen in my son. Would recommend her to anyone looking for her services."

"I was so grateful to find Blossom & Bloom Therapy! I needed a therapist familiar with primitive reflexes, able to help my understanding of a child with challenges but no clear diagnosis, and flexible availability. Jenna was a match for all three! She answered questions, shared resources, and really worked to support our son as his needs evolved. She’s very responsive and helpful. Two thumbs up!"

Testimonials
Hi there!
I'm so glad you've landed here. My name is Jenna, mother to three beautiful and wonderfully individual children and Founder of Blossom & Bloom Therapy Services.
Blossom & Bloom was born from a pressing need for accessible pediatric therapy services within Indian River County and surrounding areas. I have a passion for engaging with children who have unique needs and assisting and educating parents along the way.
I graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University in 2013 with my Master's of Science in Occupational Therapy degree, and I have been a Board Certified Occupational Therapist for 9 years, with the last 5 of those years in direct pediatric therapy services.
I have experience working with children from a multitude of backgrounds, ages, and diagnoses and am a Certified Autism Specialist (CAS).
When I'm not treating clients and running a business, you can find me hanging out with my kids (and my puppy and kitty), going to the beach, kayaking, coloring or reading a good book.
I am so excited to get to know you and your child!
Jenna Taylor
