At Kid Power Pediatric Occupational Therapy, we believe children thrive when they feel safe, connected, and empowered to be themselves. We are an occupational therapist-owned pediatric practice serving families in Kenosha and Lake County through individualized, play-based occupational therapy.

Our approach is neurodiversity-affirming, child-led, and sensory-rich.
