Welcome to Glow OT, a private practice run by me, Marisa Davison, where I help kids find their inner glow. Each of my services follows the Glow OT approach:
Connect
Child-led therapy guided by special interests.
Play
Micro-challenges within the context of playscapes.
Regulate
Fostering sensory and emotional balance.
Grow
Real-life application of new skill sets.
Services Offered
Occupational therapy encompasses a diverse range of focus areas, each designed to nurture an individuals’ independence and quality of life. By focusing in pediatrics, I’m able to provide guidance from a young age – all while bestowing parents with the necessary tools to keep their young ones glowing and growing.
