Neurodivergent-affirming pediatric occupational therapy that comes to your home and fits your schedule.
Serving Central New York families. Children ages 2-18.
Does this sound familiar?
Simple morning or nightly routines can feel overwhelming, and your child struggles to do them independently even though you feel like you've walked them through the steps 1,000 times.
Getting dressed takes far longer than it should; buttons, zippers, and shoelaces feel impossible.
Leaving the house is stressful, and family outings don't always go as planned.
Big emotional reactions mean that maintaining friendships and playing with siblings can lead to big frustrations and conflicts.
Mealtimes include the same 4 foods no matter what you've tried to expand your child's palate.
You've spent hours searching for answers. You've been told to "wait and see," or you've found yourself giving up because you've tried everything you can think of.
Most of all, you're looking for someone who understands what your family is experiencing - and can help provide a path forward so that your child can 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.
