Hi! I’m Heidi Womack, founder of Happy Horizons Therapy, PLLC.  I’ve been a Pediatric Occupational Therapist for 17 wonderful years and LOVE what I do. I firmly believe that every child has greatness and that they are capable of living their happiest, most fulfilling life. I am here to not only help your child achieve their developmental milestones, but to also be a new support system for you and your family.  My role with you and your child extends beyond the term “therapist” into that of coach, cheerleader, advocate, helper, and teacher.  My goal is for you to feel fully supported within the therapy experience, and for your child to feel successful in their ability to play, socialize, move, talk, eat, dress, write, and so much more!  For the children who struggle in one or more of these areas, and for the parents who might be frustrated or overwhelmed, I understand.  I have been in your shoes. I am here to help. You are not alone! I have specialized training to assist your child with deficits in the following areas: * Fine motor skills * Visual motor integration skills (eye-hand coordination) * Visual perceptual skills  * Gross motor/Motor development skills * Sensory Processing/Sensory Integration * Feeding difficulties * Autism/Pervasive Developmental Disorder * Developmental delays * Activities of Daily Living (ADL’s) * Strength/Endurance/Range of Motion * School Readiness skills (pre-writing, scissor skills) * Handwriting Remediation * Dyslexia * Bilateral coordination * Social Emotional Regulation * Infant Motor Development * Feeding Disorders/Picky Eating * Attention/Concentration/ADHD * Planning and organization
