Occupational Therapy Whole Family Services
Occupational Therapy can provide a safe and fun environment to work on meaningful, functional skills for children and families to improve their fine motor, visual-motor, self-care, sensorimotor, regulation, advocacy, range of motion, and play skills. ANKU has a unique approach to care, guidance, and collaboration with families.
Please reach out to discuss if ANKU is right for your family!
ANKU requires interoception and body awareness practices for the whole family. ANKU is a holistic practicing and believes in collaborating with the family system and not just the individual child Treatment planning looks different for all families but recommends caretakers and guardians have their own mind-bodywork with Sassia to improve their own interoceptive, body awareness, and self-care practices they can model for their young ones. Families who have worked with Sassia in the past and practice recognizing sensations in their body that are related to their emotions (interoceptive awareness) have demonstrated more meaningful results as a family system at home. I will also request help from parents with their child/ren during bodywork sessions when applicable.
Sassia highly suggests parents receive tensegrity medicine work for themselves to learn tap into their own self-care strategies, co-regulation with their child/ren, and self-awareness of compensatory patterns that may no longer serve themselves or the family system.
Sassia provides an evaluation and treatment of people with various cognitive, physical, and emotional differences. Some western diagnoses include: autism, prader-willi syndrome, cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury, ADHD, sensory processing disorder, PTSD, anxiety, and more!
Sassia uses a variety of modalities to collaborate with children and their families to create a holistic, family treatment plan that may include a combination of bodywork, interoception awareness, sensory modulation techniques, coaching, and social-emotional regulation.
OT services may be delivered individually, in a group, or in a number of community settings.
Occupational Therapy Consulting/Sensory Profile
I offer consultation to parents, schools, counselors, and community programs who want and need more information when working with people with varying abilities. I love teaching how sensory, movement, body, and perceived trauma relate! I can also do a consultation around your sensory profile to learn strategies to be yourself in our busy, sensory filled world. Please contact to see how we can work together on programming or aid for your child in school or community!
Contact Sassia today to schedule a free 15-20 minute consultation to see if she and your family are a good fit!
