If getting dressed, sitting through dinner, or handling a noisy, busy environment regularly tips your child over the edge, occupational therapy may help more than you'd expect. Therapy Clubhouse provides pediatric OT for Camarillo children in your home or by telehealth, beginning with a free 15-minute consultation with a licensed occupational therapist.
Occupational therapy is often boxed in as "handwriting help," but for children it's much wider. It supports the everyday skills that make childhood work: fine-motor control, sensory processing and self-regulation, coordination and body awareness, and daily-living independence like dressing, grooming, and managing mealtimes. When one of these is a struggle, it can ripple into school, sleep, and family life.
Our team can guide you through what to expect and how to get started.
For many kids, refusing certain foods or falling apart at a crowded party isn't stubbornness, it's a sensory system reacting to textures, smells, sounds, or unpredictability. Occupational therapy, including sensory-integration strategies, helps children gradually feel safer and more capable, and gives you tools for the moments that are hardest. When mealtime challenges point to feeding therapy specifically, we'll tell you honestly and help you find the right next step.
We figure out why a task is hard, then build the underlying skills through play-based activities your child actually enjoys. We hand you practical strategies for home and school so progress carries into daily life. As with any honest therapy, we can't guarantee a particular result or timeline, but we set clear goals, measure progress, and keep communication open.
OT is about real life, so practicing in your real home is a genuine advantage, the actual clothes, the actual table, the actual routines. In-home sessions across Camarillo make that possible, telehealth is available when it fits better, and our Westlake Village clinic with a sensory space opens on November 1, 2026. Children under 3 may qualify for Early Start through Tri-Counties Regional Center, where we're a vendored provider.
If talking or understanding language is also a concern, our pediatric speech therapy in Camarillo page and combined speech and occupational therapy in Camarillo overview show how one team can help with both.
It can be, for many kids, refusing certain textures or smells is sensory rather than stubbornness. OT can help, and if it points to feeding therapy specifically, we'll tell you honestly and help you find the right next step.
Birth through the teen years.

If daily tasks feel harder for your child than they should, that's reason enough to ask. Book a free 15-minute consultation with a licensed pediatric occupational therapist, no diagnosis or referral required.
We work with families across Camarillo and Oxnard, Moorpark, and the Santa Rosa Valley.
Many Camarillo children attend schools in the Pleasant Valley School District. School based support and private therapy are not the same thing: school services are tied to how a child is doing in the educational setting and carry their own eligibility process, while private occupational therapy focuses on the goals you and your therapist set for your child. Plenty of families use both, and we are happy to coordinate with your school team when that helps.
Because Camarillo sits in Ventura County, children under age 3 are served by Tri-Counties Regional Center, which covers Ventura, Santa Barbara, and San Luis Obispo counties. Therapy Clubhouse is a contracted Tri-Counties provider for Early Start speech therapy and occupational therapy. You do not need a doctor to refer you: a parent can call Tri-Counties directly at (800) 664-3177 to begin an Early Start referral, and we are glad to explain what to expect first.
Right now we come to you. In-home occupational therapy means your child practices handwriting at their own desk, dressing in their own room, and mealtime skills at their own table, which is usually exactly where families want to see progress. Telehealth is available when that fits your schedule better. Our Westlake Village clinic opens on November 1, 2026, adding a clinic option for Camarillo families who would rather come to us.
Questions about your own child in Camarillo? Call or text (805) 702-3427 and we will talk it through.
Some children need help learning to talk. Others need help with handwriting, coordination, or coping with noise and textures. Many need both. Therapy Clubhouse is led by Nita Anavim, M.S., CCC-SLP, and Rachel Yashouafar, MA, OTR/L, so a family who needs speech and occupational therapy can arrange both through one practice instead of managing two providers, two intake processes and two schedules.
The first step is a free 15-minute consultation with a licensed therapist. Call (805) 702-3427 or send a message.
Tell us what you are noticing about your child. A licensed therapist reads every message, not an assistant, and replies within one business day. The consultation is free, lasts about 15 minutes, and carries no obligation. There is no waiting list. If you would rather talk now, call (805) 702-3427.
