MAN OT LA
Pediatric Occupational Therapy
La Canada, CA
MAN OT LA is a pediatric occupational therapy clinic located in La Cañada Flintridge. We provide individualized, play-based therapy for infants, children, adolescents, and young adults in a warm, supportive, and thoughtfully designed environment.
Our team works closely with children and their families to build the foundational skills needed for greater independence and confident participation in everyday life. Therapy may address sensory processing, motor planning, fine- and gross-motor development, feeding, self-regulation, attention, executive functioning, play skills, and activities of daily living.
We understand that every child develops differently. Our clinicians take the time to learn about each child’s strengths, challenges, interests, and family priorities before creating an individualized plan of care.
Our Approach
We use a child-led, relationship-based approach that combines meaningful play with evidence-informed therapeutic strategies. Sessions are designed to be engaging and appropriately challenging while helping children develop skills that carry over into their home, school, and community environments.
