Therapists

Lawrence Buot, the founder of Kidnetics Pediatric Occupational Therapy, was inspired to create the company out of a deep commitment to serving children with autism and their families. Lawrence recognized the need for comprehensive and personalized occupational therapy services that could be delivered in a variety of settings, tailored to meet the unique needs of each child.

One of the driving factors behind the establishment of Kidnetics was the desire to provide individualized 1-on-1 occupational therapy services in the comfort and familiarity of the child's own home. Lawrence understood that some children with autism may feel more at ease and open to therapy in their familiar surroundings, where they can establish a sense of trust and security. By offering home-based services, Kidnetics ensures that each child receives the individual attention they need while benefiting from a supportive and familiar environment.

Additionally, Lawrence recognized the transformative potential of nature-based occupational therapy. The company's group sessions in nature harness the inherent therapeutic benefits of the outdoors, providing a stimulating and calming environment for children to engage in therapeutic activities. Nature-based OT sessions offer unique opportunities for sensory exploration, motor skill development, social interaction, and overall well-being. Lawrence believed that incorporating nature into therapy sessions would enhance the experience and outcomes for children with autism.

Understanding the importance of holistic development, Lawrence also established sports camps and after-school programs as part of Kidnetics' offerings. These programs go beyond traditional therapy settings, providing children with autism the chance to engage in sports activities in a structured and supportive environment. By participating in sports camps and after-school programs, children can improve their motor skills, social interactions, and overall physical fitness, while also having fun and building self-confidence.

Recognizing that parents play a vital role in their child's therapy journey, Kidnetics offers parent training in sensory integration. Lawrence understood that parents are integral members of the therapy team and wanted to empower them with the knowledge and skills to support their child's sensory integration needs at home. By providing parent training, Kidnetics ensures that the benefits of therapy extend beyond the session, allowing parents to actively participate in their child's progress and well-being.

In summary, Lawrence created Kidnetics Pediatric Occupational Therapy with the vision of offering comprehensive and individualized services for children with autism. By providing 1-on-1 home-based therapy, nature-based OT sessions, sports camps, and after-school programs, as well as parent training in sensory integration, Kidnetics aims to support the holistic development and well-being of children with autism and their families. Lawrence's dedication to serving this community and his belief in the transformative power of occupational therapy drives the company's mission to make a positive impact on the lives of children with autism.
