About Occupational Therapy Associates
in Wakefield & Bedford, MA
Helping Your Child Take Small Steps to Achieve Great Strides
Occupational Therapy Associates (OTA) has been dedicated to children’s success since 1989. Originally founded on the principles of sensory integration, our practice has grown into one of Massachusetts’ most trusted centers for occupational, speech, and feeding therapy.
Our clinics in Wakefield and Bedford were designed with children in mind. Each location features multiple sensory gyms, calm-down rooms, specialized feeding kitchens, craft and handwriting rooms, and dedicated spaces for play and learning. These state-of-the-art facilities give children the opportunity to experience engaging and effective therapy for lasting progress.
Our Approach to Care
We look at the whole child, taking into account their home life, school experiences, and social needs. Our therapists work side by side with parents to create treatment plans that fit into your daily life and give children the opportunity to build functional skills.
Meet Our Leadership Team
At OTA, therapy is provided by caring professionals who have undergone extensive training and mentorship. With nearly 40 therapists across both clinics, our team works closely with each child and uses their training and experience to make therapy both fun and effective.
