Pediatric Occupational Therapy - Cowtown Pediatrix Clinic

Occupational Therapy

Pediatric Occupational Therapy in Fort Worth

Helping kids build confidence, independence, and everyday life skills through play-based therapy.

What is pediatric occupational therapy?

Kids have jobs, too—like playing, learning, and growing. But for children with autism, ADHD, sensory challenges, developmental delays, or Down syndrome, those everyday “jobs” can feel frustrating or overwhelming. That’s where pediatric occupational therapy can make a difference.

At Cowtown Pediatrix Clinic in Fort Worth, we use a sensory-based, whole-child approach to help kids master the foundational skills they need to thrive. Our licensed pediatric occupational therapists (OTs) support development through fun, engaging, purposeful activities that feel more like play than therapy.

Our therapists take the time to understand your child—not just the diagnosis. We focus on what motivates them and partner closely with you to build progress that sticks. Your child’s care plan will be personalized, goal-oriented, and always grounded in compassion.

What We Help With

Occupational therapy can support your child in areas like:

Getting dressed or using the bathroom
Strengthening hands and improving grip
Balancing, coordination, and motor planning
Writing, coloring, and cutting
Managing transitions and routines
Playing with peers and building confidence

We also work on emotional regulation, helping kids feel more calm and in control during school, home, and social activities.

Common Diagnoses We Support

Autism Spectrum Disorders
ADHD / ADD
Developmental Delays
Dysgraphia (handwriting challenges)
Dyspraxia (motor planning difficulties)
Sensory Processing Difficulties

Worried your child might need help but don’t have a diagnosis yet?
That’s okay. An official diagnosis isn’t required to begin therapy. If you’ve noticed challenges with motor skills, independence, or sensory responses, we can help evaluate your child’s needs and support you in taking the next step.

Is Occupational Therapy Right for Your Child?

Every child is unique—and sometimes the best next step is simply having a conversation. If you’re unsure whether occupational therapy is a fit or have questions about insurance or scheduling, we’re happy to walk you through it.
