Sunny Day Therapy
A Warm Welcome from Central Kentucky’s Expert Occupational Therapists
Hello, we are the OT Doctors- Dr. Kimberly Day and Dr. Cara Reynolds. We’re so glad you are here. Our occupational therapy gives hope to clients with Autism, Anxiety, ADHD, developmental delays, executive function challenges (difficulty completing tasks), motor dyspraxia, sensory sensitivities, picky eating, ARFID, OCD, PDA, dysgraphia, fine motor concerns, mental health challenges, core strength & endurance concerns (such as slumping during school work), motor coordination or body awareness concerns (such as crashing into objects), fatigue, & behavioral difficulties (such as tantrums or task refusal). As occupational therapists, we teach clients of all ages about regulation and developing confidence in completing daily activities through specialized spaces designed for each age. From babies to elementary students to middle school students to teenagers to adults, we want to help you understand your body signs and develop a plan with real, practical tools to get your daily tasks done with confidence.
A Occupational Therapy Personalized Plan to Support Your Wellness Needs
We are in the business of meaning making. We strive to truly listen and connect with you. In addition, we connect you to resources, strategies, and meaningful activities in your community. We provide written and visual tools that help you understand your development and have an exercise plan to grow whole body strength. Our strategies may include mental, physical, reflex, bodywork, and/or sensory strategies. Where we start depends on what we find out during your comprehensive occupational therapy evaluation. Since our OT evaluations are based on assessments related to your concerns, each plan is unique. Our results and goals are never cookie-cutter. We creatively help you problem solve whatever challenge comes up in your life. With the latest evidence, we guide you on your own journey of growth and understanding. It takes a village; let us be your village.
Pediatric & Adult Occupational Therapy for Whole Body Strength
From developmental milestones to motor concerns to social skills to developing independence and confidence in completing daily activities, we are here to empower you with tools and nourish you with strategies and support. Each therapy plan is individualized and informed by connection, compassion, and creativity. This is not a cookie-cutter approach. Our holistic and FUNctional wellness plans are based on evidence and informed by experience. We support you as caregivers in your journey by giving you an opportunity to learn with your child (when desired) and sharing home program ideas. Yes, moms, dads, and just adults in general can receive OT, too! We are happy to help adults grow strong. Because we know that when individuals shine, families and communities also thrive. We have specialized trainings and tools for maternal health occupational therapy, mental health occupational therapy, executive function, sensory processing, and holistic strengthening. From physical to mental to cognitive to emotional health, our occupational therapy may utilize tools from Dr. Day’s Story Power program which give a voice to clients & caregivers of various ages and abilities. We celebrate neurodiversity (individual strengths & abilities) and neuroplasticity (unique brains) here; your therapy likely will not look the same as your peer’s therapy because it is designed specifically for YOU and adapted with your progress. Sunny Day Therapy- It’s therapy through connection. (So you can Shine, Do, & Thrive!)
Occupational Therapy for regulation, sensory, reflexes, feeding, mental health (social emotional), & development (strength & motor skills)
We have advanced trainings that support specific conditions and age levels. We know that when nervous systems are regulated, learning is amplified. By teaching you tools for self-regulation and helping you set up spaces efficiently, we empower you to build the environments you need to get exercises done. We help each client develop a plan that is meaningful and based on their own needs (identified through comprehensive evaluation and assessments selected to fit with your concerns).
Shining a Light on Mental, Sensory, and Physical Wellness
We empower families with tools to be well physically & mentally- calming strategies, sensory therapy, social stories, reflex exercises, motor games, & more. Through the use of innovative, evidence-based care, creativity, and compassion we help clients grow strong in the mind and body. By using a strengths-based approach, we help you and your family feel confident to problem-solve behaviors & develop a home exercise program to enhance wellness. In addition to pediatric therapy, we offer therapy for adults (teenagers & caregivers) to support a family approach to regulation, clear thinking, and calm bodies! Let us show you how to build spaces, habits, and routines to be well.
