At the Center for Therapeutic Intervention (CTI), we have been dedicated to providing specialized services for children and their families since 1980. Located in the cities of Gig Harbor and Olympia, Washington, CTI is a private, therapist-owned pediatric occupational therapy practice committed to helping children reach their fullest potential.
What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational Therapy (OT) focuses on helping individuals lead more successful and independent lives by identifying and addressing areas of dysfunction, such as motor skills, sensory processing, self-regulation, and cognition. Our occupational therapists (OTs) work closely with children and their families to improve skills, increase independence, and foster a sense of accomplishment and self-esteem.
