Introducing the Kid PT Team!

Hello! We’re really excited to announce that KidPT is expanding!!! I’m thrilled to introduce you to our two new Therapists, Kate Mills CCC-SLP and Tara Wirth OTR/L, who have joined our team so we can offer you a range of services in one place! KidPT now offers Speech Therapy and Occupational Therapy along with our Physical Therapy services.  KidPT highly values looking at the whole child and bringing a team together will even better help children meet their full potential!

Our talented new Occupational Therapist, Tara Wirth, MS, OTR/L, holds a master of science in occupational therapy from San Jose State University and a bachelor of arts from Amherst College.  She has worked with children and adults in a variety of settings ranging from private practice, schools, early intervention, to hospital and rehabilitation centers.  Since 2011, Tara has focused her energy on working exclusively with children and their families.  She has studied sensory integration, sensory defensiveness, pediatric trauma, brain injury, and treatment for visual system dysfunction.  In addition she has completed training in Handwriting Without Tears as well as alternative approaches to the improvement of handwriting.  Tara is the proud mother of two very active young boys, ages 2 and 5.
