Does this sound familiar?
Getting dressed takes far longer than it should. Simple morning routines can feel overwhelming.
Leaving the house is stressful, and family outings don't always go as planned.
Handwriting, using scissors, or keeping up with classroom tasks feels harder than it should. Making friends, playing with siblings, or participating in activities can lead to frustration and conflict.
Mealtimes and bedtimes have become daily challenges.
You've spent hours searching for answers. You've been told to "wait and see," or you've found yourself on a waitlist with no clear timeline.
Most of all, you're looking for someone who understands what your family is experiencing—and can help your child build the skills and confidence they need to thrive.
That's where I come in.
Pediatric OT that meets your family where you actually are.
Most pediatric OT happens in a clinic, in a 30 minute slot, with a parent in the waiting room. But many of the challenges children face don't happen in a clinic, they happen at home, during daily routines and real-life moments.
That's where I come in.
I'm Megan Matthews, a doctoral-level pediatric occupational therapist with a passion for supporting children's development, regulation, sensory processing, and participation in everyday life. By providing therapy in your home, I can see what life actually looks like for your family and help create strategies that work where they matter most—at the breakfast table, in the car, during homework, and at bedtime.
During each session, I spend dedicated one-on-one time with your child to understand what's working, what's challenging, and what support they need to succeed. Then I bring you into the process, explaining what I'm doing, why I'm doing it, and how you can confidently carry those strategies into everyday life.
You'll leave each session with practical tools, hands-on guidance, and a clear understanding of how to support your child's progress between visits, so meaningful change continues long after the session ends.
