Brighten Pediatric Therapy

Brighten Pediatric Therapy Dedicated to helping children of all ages grow, thrive and shine through occupational therapy. Hi, My name is Chantel, an Occupational Therapist here in Hobbs.

Occupational Therapy is the art and science of crafting the skills to do daily activities of life. An occupational therapist can work with anyone from age 0 to 100 to help them due to an illness, injury or difficulty. I have been doing OT for a long time and in a lot of settings and look forward many more challenges and opportunities. Lea OT Services will start a new and exciting after-school program that will be specialized circuit-training sensory-motor activities to develop whole learning.

🦄 After-school therapy appointments are the unicorns of pediatric therapy scheduling… Everyone wants one, but there are only so many to go around! 🙃

As we start the new school year, we want to let our Brighten Pediatric Therapy families know that our after-school appointments are extremely limited.

Like many pediatric therapy clinics, we have far more families who want after-school times than we have appointments available. We wish we could add all the wanted appointments to every afternoon—but unfortunately, the clock isn’t cooperating! 😂

We understand how busy life is with school, work, sports, homework, and everything else families juggle each week. ❤️

Remember, occupational therapy is a physician-referred, medically necessary service. If your child needs to attend therapy during the school day, we’re happy to provide documentation for your child’s school explaining that therapy is medically necessary and should be considered an excused medical absence.

If you’re currently waiting for an after-school opening, we’ll gladly place you on our waiting list and contact you as soon as a spot becomes available. Families who are able to accept a daytime appointment may be able to start therapy much sooner.

🩷 Thank you for your patience, flexibility, and for trusting Brighten Pediatric Therapy to support your child and your family. It is truly our privilege to be part of your family. 😊😊

Back to school is HERE! 🎒

For most kids, that means new teachers, new routines, and a fresh start. But for some children, it also brings new challenges — gripping a pencil, sitting at a desk, keeping up with classmates.

Here are a few signs your child might benefit from OT support as the school year begins:

✅ Struggles with handwriting or holding a pencil
✅ Has a hard time sitting still or staying focused
✅ Gets overwhelmed in noisy or busy environments
✅ Difficulty with buttons, zippers, or getting dressed independently
✅ Avoids fine motor tasks like cutting or coloring

You don't have to wait and see. Early support can make a real difference.

Message us today — we still have openings and we'd love to help your child start the year strong. 💛

ADHD is more than difficulty paying attention.

Your child may struggle with big emotions, transitions, impulsivity, handwriting, following directions, organization, or completing everyday routines.

These challenges are not character flaws. Occupational therapy can help children build practical skills for home, school, and play.

Every child develops at their own pace—but persistent difficulties deserve attention.

If you’re wondering whether your child’s movement, play, self-care, attention, or hand skills are developing as expected, trust that concern.

An OT evaluation can identify strengths, challenges, and practical next steps.

📲 Call or message Brighten Pediatric Therapy. You don’t have to keep wondering.

Does your child struggle with everyday tasks that seem easy for other children?

Maybe it’s getting dressed, using utensils, sitting for a lesson, playing with others, or managing big feelings.

These challenges are not always “just a phase.” Your child may need extra support—and occupational therapy can help.

📲 Message to ask about an OT evaluation.

Does your child seem clumsy, fearful of movement, or always on the go?

Some children avoid climbing, jumping, swings, playgrounds, or new motor activities. Others constantly seek movement and have difficulty slowing their body down.

Occupational therapy can help children improve balance, coordination, body awareness, motor planning, and sensory regulation.

Brighten Pediatric Therapy is here to support children and families with skilled, individualized OT.
