Pediatric Occupational Therapy (OT) and Physical Therapy (PT)
in greater Richmond, Virginia that comes to YOU.
At First Priority Occupational Therapy, we believe that meaningful growth happens where life happens; in a child’s natural environment alongside that child’s team. When occupational therapy services are delivered in the context of real-life routines, progress becomes more meaningful, sustainable, and empowering for both the child and family.
Pediatric occupational and physical therapy helps children build the skills they need to participate confidently in the activities that matter most—playing, learning, making friends, and becoming more independent. Through fun, engaging, and individualized experiences, First Priority Occupational Therapy supports development in areas such as sensory processing, primitive reflex integration, emotional regulation, fine and gross motor skills, handwriting, self-care (dressing, feeding, and toileting), attention, executive functioning and social awareness. Our goal is to empower children and equip families with practical strategies that foster confidence, resilience, and lifelong success—one meaningful milestone at a time.

School Partnerships and Occupational Therapy Screens
We are honored to partner with more than 50 schools, preschools, and early childhood programs throughout the Richmond and Yorktown areas to support children's growth and development. Through our collaborative school partnerships, we provide occupational therapy screenings that help identify early concerns, barriers, or difficulties with the opportunity to provide follow-up services and support.
These partnerships allow us to work alongside educators and families to promote successful participation in the classroom, foster developmental growth, and help every child build the skills needed to thrive.
Staff Trainings/In- Services
Empower your team with practical, evidence-based strategies that support children's growth, learning, classroom management and success. We offer engaging staff trainings and developmental in-services on topics to include support for sensory seekers and sensory avoiders, the powerful role of movement in regulation and learning, and the foundational skills that support lifelong development.
​
We partner with schools, childcare centers, and organizations to provide meaningful learning experiences that translate directly into everyday practice and real classroom support.
