At NAPA Center, we take an individualized approach to therapy because we understand that each child is unique with very specific needs. We embrace differences with an understanding that individualized programs work better. For this reason, no two therapeutic programs are alike. If your child needs our services, we will work closely with you to select the best therapies for them, creating a customized program specific to your child’s needs and your family’s goals.
At NAPA Center, we offer individualized pediatric therapy programs with unique combinations of our wide range of physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, feeding therapy, and more. We strive to provide children and families with hope by offering services in a playful environment that helps children maximize their full potential. In addition to our traditional weekly occupational therapy sessions, we also specialize in intensive pediatric therapy.
We proudly offer Denver occupational therapy for babies, toddlers, and children of all ages. To discover how NAPA can help your child, contact our team to schedule a free 30-minute phone screening or a tour of our Denver, Colorado pediatric therapy clinic. The NAPA Denver clinic is located at 11211 East Arapahoe Road, Unit 118, Centennial, CO 80112.

Sydney has always been intrigued by seeking out the answers to the ‘hows’ and ‘whys’ of life. This is especially true of her passion for the human body and the people that live in them. After earning her undergraduate degree in Kinesiology and Psychology from Iowa State, she decided a doctorate in occupational therapy was the perfect next step for her to expand her knowledge and love for helping people feel happy, comfortable, and independent in their bodies while doing their favorite things. She has had the opportunity to work with kids and adults at an acute hospital in Montana, spent time at a pediatric clinic in Alaska, and also compiled research and education on trauma-informed care within the pediatric population while in Denver. Through all of this, Sydney knew that working with kids and helping facilitate function and fun was exactly what she wanted to do every day! When she is not working at NAPA Center, you can likely find her listening to music and creating a playlist for any occasion, playing board or card games, spending time outside either by a mountain or a lake, and doing all of these things with the ones she loves most: her family, friends and her dog, Sunny!

Our Denver pediatric occupational therapists are trained to work with a variety of diagnoses including traumatic brain injury, autism spectrum disorder, stroke, cerebral palsy, injuries, orthopedic impairments, sensory processing disorders, developmental delays and more!
Sensory integration therapy can benefit children who are overly sensitive to sensory input, under-responsive to sensory input, are constantly seeking sensory input (touching people or objects), or crashing into people or objects.
NAPA Center also specializes in intensive pediatric therapy programs which attract families from around the world. We use the Intensive Model of Therapy (IMOT) when treating children with cerebral palsy and other neurological disorders. Children often advance to the next developmental skill or higher during the three-week program.
