About Us
Why Choose Us
Honey Green Milestones is a private pediatric occupational therapy practice. As pediatric occupational therapists we focus on promoting the function and engagement of children and families in everyday life or "occupations." Our therapists are passionate about delivering quality, innovative and client-centered strategies to help children meet life's milestones. We provide this through services in our clinic and in natural environments (homes, child care facilities, preschools, etc). We serve ages birth to 21 and are experienced in a wide-range of disabilities and diagnoses.

See the Difference
Honey Green Milestones is a therapist owned and operated pediatric occupational therapy practice.
Established in 2017 to provide individualized, innovative, quality, caring, and coordinated occupational therapy services within the context of the child's natural ability. We work to make a connection between your child's current needs and their natural abilities, using skilled interventions to maximize their functional independence.
Our goal is to be a valued resource for children and their families when it comes their child’s development and navigation of the world around them.
Our Services
WHAT IS PEDIATRIC OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY?
Pediatric occupational therapists address the needs of children who may have a developmental delay, disability or other health challenge through therapeutic intervention to promote the attainment of age-related life skills or "occupations." In order to therapeutically assist a child in meeting their full potential the occupational therapist may use compensatory strategies and adaptations or modifications to equipment, environments or activities. These approaches are individualized and collaborative with families and other health care professionals, while being implemented in a sensory rich, supportive and positive environment.
Your Pediatric Occupational Therapist May Address the Below Skills:
Bilateral Coordination
The ability to use both sides of the body at the same time.
Executive Functioning
Tasks one's brain performs that are necessary to think, act and solve problems.
Self-Care
Activities such as personal care (bathing, toileting, dressing, eating), functional mobility (the ability to move around in one's environment) and community management (grocery shopping, driving, taking public transportation, managing finances).
Visual Perception
Obtaining and interpreting visual information from the environment; includes spatial relationships, matching, sequential memory, scanning, sorting, form constancy, figure ground and closure.
Handwriting
Recording language by hand, often by using a paper and pen or pencil.
Visual Motor Integration
Obtaining and translating visual information from the environment into coordinated motor functioning or hand movements; includes printing, drawing, forming shapes and coloring.
Sensory Processing/Self-Regulation
The way a person's nervous systems receive sensory input (sights, sounds, movement, taste and touch) and adapts their emotional expression, behavioral activity level, and attention/arousal level in response.
Fine Motor
The use of precise and coordinated movements of the fingers and hands.
Decreased Strength
Ability to manipulate restive materials, moving against gravity, sustaining body positions.
Decreased Range of Motion
Limits in the arc of motion in which joints of the fingers, arms, legs, neck or other body parts move.
Social Skills
The skills we use to communicate and interact with each other, both verbally and non-verbally, through gestures, body language and our personal appearance.

Her experience working across the lifespan in so many settings with both typically developing children and children/adults with special needs gives her a unique and global perspective when designing intervention plans and therapeutic activities.
