I highly recommend DICP!
My daughter, nearly 12 years old, has been in occupational therapist since she was one year-old. We've seen many therapists throughout the years. When she aged out of her last therapy at age 10, I found Sena at Development Is Child's Play in Burlingame. DICP works with children of all ages and all abilities. They have swings, climbing walls, zip lines, and all different kinds of equipment for taller, heavier kids (as well plenty of equipment for littler ones too).
When we joined DICP, Sena did a thorough evaluation of my daughter and found that many of her initial baby reflexes were never integrated into system. Other therapists, especially our school-based OT, focus mostly on penmanship and do not address the fundamental building blocks that make it possible for children to write neatly and perform other fine motor skills. Working on my daughter's core strength, initial reflexes, sensory integration, and motor planning challenges, has finally allowed her to make progress with her writing and other school-based concerns.
Sena has been instrumental in helping us with my daughter's toileting troubles both at night time and during the day. Sena is helping her to listen to her body better and response to what her body is telling her. Sena is the first therapist to really address my daughter's core needs and develop a specialized program tailored to my daughter. My daughter is making so much progress thanks to Sena.
Sena always listens with her kind ears to my daughter's (and my) concerns, giving advice and offering support in many areas of our lives. She is thoughtful, knowledgeable, gentle, and kind.
My daughter loves going to OT at DICP. She loves it, not only for Sena, and not only for the swings and zip lines and obstacle courses, but especially for Roomba, DICP's loving therapy dog. My daughter loves dogs and Roomba accompanies her on all her activities while in therapy. Roomba's loving patience and playful nature gives my daughter confidence and encouragement to keep working and trying hard.
Being part of the DICP family has made such a difference in our lives! read more
