Maybe a teacher mentioned your child's handwriting or focus, maybe mornings and mealtimes feel like a daily battle, or maybe you just sense that ordinary tasks are harder for your child than they should be. Occupational therapy helps with exactly these everyday struggles. Therapy Clubhouse provides pediatric OT for Oak Park children in your home or by telehealth, starting with a free 15-minute consultation with a licensed occupational therapist.
A child who rushes through worksheets, melts down over getting dressed, or can't seem to sit still is often labeled careless, lazy, or difficult. Much of the time, that's not what's happening. Underneath, there may be hand muscles that tire quickly, a pencil grip that never became efficient, or a sensory system that's overwhelmed or under-stimulated. Naming the real reason is a relief for parents, and it points to something you can actually help.
Our team can guide you through what to expect and how to get started.
For kids, occupational therapy is about the everyday "work" of childhood: fine-motor skills like writing, cutting, and buttoning; sensory processing and self-regulation; coordination and body awareness; and daily-living independence like dressing, grooming, and eating. When one of these is lagging, it can quietly affect school, friendships, and confidence.
We start by understanding why a task is hard, then build the underlying skills through activities that feel like play, not work. Just as importantly, we translate that into concrete strategies you, and often your child's teacher, can use every day, so progress shows up in real life. We won't promise a specific outcome or timeline, but we will set clear goals, measure honestly, and keep you in the loop.
Because OT is about daily life, working in your actual home is a real advantage, the same desk, the same morning routine, the same dinner table where things get tough. In-home sessions across Oak Park make that possible, telehealth is available when it fits better, and our Westlake Village clinic with a dedicated 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, understanding, or social communication are also on your mind, our pediatric speech therapy in Oak Park page and combined speech and occupational therapy in Oak Park overview explain how one team can support both.
No. Pediatric OT covers fine-motor skills, sensory processing, self-regulation, coordination, and daily-living skills like dressing and eating.
Often what looks like "not trying" is really a skill or sensory challenge. A consultation helps sort out what's underneath the behavior.
Yes, in your home across Oak Park, with telehealth available and our Westlake Village clinic opening November 1, 2026.
You don't need a diagnosis or referral to ask. Book a free 15-minute consultation with a licensed pediatric occupational therapist and get a clear, no-pressure sense of whether OT could help your child.
Oak Park is an unincorporated community in southern Ventura County, just over the Los Angeles County line, and it has its own district, Oak Park Unified.
We work with families across Oak Park and nearby Agoura Hills, Westlake Village, and Thousand Oaks.
Many Oak Park children attend schools in the Oak Park Unified 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 Oak Park 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 Oak Park families who would rather come to us.
Questions about your own child in Oak Park? 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.
