Serving Children and Families In-Person and virtually
Exciting News from Karen Smith OT!
To my incredible families in California—thank you for allowing me to be part of your journey. As of this summer 2025, I will be relocating to Mattoon, Illinois, and expanding my private pediatric occupational therapy practice.
While I will no longer be offering in-person services in California, I’m excited to continue supporting your children through virtual OT sessions and parent education consultations. These services are designed to meet the evolving needs of kids who are working through challenges with:
- Sensory processing
- Emotional regulation
- Fine and gross motor skills
- Retained primitive reflexes
- Independence in daily routines
- Strengthening family harmony
To families and educators in the Mattoon area—I’m thrilled to begin offering direct pediatric OT services, parent support, parent and education-based workshops right here in our new community. I bring years of experience, a deep love for helping children feel seen and valued through playful connection-based therapy - while empowering parents and teachers with tools, insight, and confidence to support every child’s unique journey.
Whether you’re looking for hands-on intervention or guidance at home or in schools, I’d love to partner with you.
Now Serving Families and Professionals Across North America:
Mattoon, IL – In-person private pay pediatric OT sessions, parent education and consultation
California – Virtual private pay services for families statewide
U.S. & Canada – Workshops and continuing education for caregivers, educators, and therapists

Client Accolades
Remarkable Improvements
Karen Smith was our daughter's CVUSD occupational therapist for a few years. Karen's dedication, creativity, and enthusiasm made her an exceptional resource. Furthermore, she always had an energetic, positive attitude that resonated with our daughter, thereby contributing to her continued success. The improvements we saw in penmanship and typing proficiency, in particular, were truly remarkable. Our family gives Karen the highest recommendations.
