Dawn Forsmith, MOT, OTR
Pediatric Occupational Therapist
With more than 25 years of experience, Dawn Forsmith has dedicated her career to helping children unlock their full potential and supporting families through the journey. She specializes in working with children facing developmental delays, genetic disorders, sensory processing challenges, learning disabilities, feeding difficulties, autism, Down syndrome, ADHD, and dyslexia.
Dawn’s approach goes beyond therapy sessions—she builds strong, trusting relationships with both children and their families. By combining evidence-based practices with genuine care, she helps children gain confidence, independence, and joy in everyday life. Her collaborative style ensures that parents and other treating professionals feel empowered and supported as part of the team, creating a pathway to lasting growth and success.
Our Approach
Connection First
Every child is unique. Dawn begins by discovering what sparks joy for your child—whether it’s music, movement, or play. By building a trusting relationship and weaving therapy into play, children feel safe, motivated, and open to progress.
Personalized Therapy
There’s no one-size-fits-all. Dawn draws from over 25 years of experience and a wide range of evidence-based methods, including DIR®/Floortime™, sensory processing, reflex integration, neurodevelopmental therapy, the SOS Feeding Approach, and neuroplasticity. Each session is customized to address the root cause of challenges and create lasting change.
Skills That Last a Lifetime
Families often share that they once felt stuck—unsure how to help their child. Dawn’s approach changes that. By addressing challenges at the root and equipping families with tools and understanding, children gain confidence, resilience, and independence that extend far beyond therapy into school, friendships, and family life.
