At Beyond OT, we use a neuroaffirming, play-based approach that supports each child’s development while respecting their individual needs, interests, and ways of being in the world.

General Questions

Q: What is occupational therapy (OT)?
A: : Pediatric occupational therapy helps children develop the skills they need to participate in everyday activities — like playing, getting dressed, using utensils, or engaging with peers. This can include support for:

Fine motor skills (e.g., handwriting, buttoning, cutting)

Visual motor integration (how the eyes and hands work together)

Sensory processing (how a child experiences and responds to sensory input)

Emotional regulation and self-help skills

Helping children feel safe and confident around food

Q: What is speech therapy?
A: We’re excited to be expanding our team to offer speech and language therapy later this year! Speech therapy supports a child’s ability to communicate, connect, and understand the world around them. Our upcoming services will include support in areas such as:

Expressive and receptive language

Articulation and motor speech

Social communication and connection

AAC (Augmentative & Alternative Communication)

Gestalt Language Processing

Q: Who do you work with?
A: We primarily work with children from early childhood through early adolescence age. Each child we see brings their own strengths and challenges, and we tailor therapy to meet them where they are. A formal diagnosis is not required to receive services. We welcome all children who may benefit from support with motor skills, sensory regulation, emotional development, or everyday routines — regardless of whether they’ve been evaluated.

Therapy Services

Q: What services do you offer?
A: We are an outpatient pediatric therapy clinic located in Northville, Michigan, offering occupational therapy and soon expanding to include speech and language services. In addition to in-clinic care, we also partner with public and charter schools to provide contracted therapy services.

Stay tuned — we’re growing! More therapies and enrichment programs are on the way.
