welcome to the PTL family

Play To Learn Therapy focuses on providing our children with the tools needed to achieve success within their natural environments through the use of occupational therapy services.

 

A child's primary goal is to grow, learn and play, with one of their main occupations being play. Through the use of play and other therapeutic techniques, Play To Learn Therapy promotes the development of motor planning skills, fine motor skills, visual motor/visual perceptual skills, sensory processing, emotional maturity, social skills, and self-confidence needed to discover and explore new environments.

We offer personalized occupational therapy services to help families and children reach their goals. We are currently only in-network Tricare insurance, but can provide super bills for clients to submit for out of network reimbursement. We currently have no waitlist and you can get your child on their way to success today!
