Upward Pediatrics

Upward OT is a pediatric occupational therapy practice in Charlotte, North Carolina, supporting children ages four and up in becoming more self-directed, confident, and independent. The practice specializes in children with learning differences and skill gaps, including challenges with reading, math, handwriting, sensory processing, attention, emotional regulation, balance, and motor coordination. It also works with children with ADHD, Level 1 autism spectrum disorder, and difficulties with letter recognition, sounds, sequencing, puzzles, or reading aloud.

Upward OT provides individualized evaluations and treatment programs tailored to each child’s needs. After an evaluation with a NeuroNet Certified Provider, families receive an individual plan of care and can enroll in StepUp to Learn, a program designed for home use. Therapy typically includes weekly or biweekly appointments, alongside brief home exercises completed five days a week. The practice uses a comprehensive approach to support children’s independence and help address learning gaps associated with missed in-person education.
