Meet Caitlin
Caitlin Creviston is a licensed, registered occupational therapist, born and raised in Georgia. Caitlin graduated from Georgia State University with a Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy and a Bachelor’s degree specializing in child development and counseling. Her heart and drive for the field of pediatric occupational therapy bloomed when she watched her younger sibling be supported by a skilled occupational therapist through play and relationship. Caitlin turned to her mom at the age of 11 and said, “This is what I want to do when I grow up.”
Today Caitlin is passionate about supporting families and children to connect, learn, and thrive in their environments. The most beautiful part of her work is improving lives while getting lost in joyful play. She has a collaborative approach and experience working with families in a variety of environments including home, school, hiking and park sessions, group sessions and outpatient settings. Caitlin implements DIRFloortime and sensory integration to attune to individual differences, strengthen skills, foster engagement and connection, and promote play. Her favorite moments are most often the organic “gleam in the eye” moments with the children and their families.
Caitlin is a Certified Advanced DIRFloortime® Provider. She is trained in evaluating and supporting sensory integration and is certified in Astronaut Training: A Sound Activated Vestibular-Visual Protocol to support optimal vestibular function.
Caitlin is the mother of two beautiful boys. Her family enjoys being outdoors at the park, riding bikes, playing soccer, hiking, and playing fetch with their dog, Cash.
“Working with Caitlin was a true gift for my son and our family. His 2-5 years were marked by challenges, worries, conflict, and an increasing feeling that we weren't getting it right as parents. What worked for our older son didn't work for our younger son. Books we read and advice we got all fell flat.
Thankfully a good family friend recommended that we seek out an OT and we found Caitlin. Her approach is gentle, kind, and finely-tuned to the child, but it's also steady and purposeful. My son looked forward to sessions with Caitlin, and now years after, his face still lights up when we hear from her.
From my son's perspective, Caitlin helped him immensely with emotional regulation, gross motor skills and honing in on fine motor skills in the critical years leading up to elementary school. We saw his demeanor change, his ability to cope with challenges improve, and his confidence rise. At home, things improved with his brothers, and he successfully launched into kindergarten with none of the behavioral issues that consistently arose during preschool.
Caitlin's gift wasn't just to our son, but she helped us as parents. I not only learned strategies that would work for parenting him, but importantly, why he wasn't responding well previously. From Caitlin's coaching, I could better see the world from his perspective, better anticipate his needs, and build an environment in which he could naturally fly, being his full self.
For families who are struggling and looking for answers, I cannot recommend Caitlin highly enough. Her positive influence stays with all of us years later, and I'm so grateful for our time working together.”

60 minute individual occupational therapy sessions promoting your child’s specific goals and attuning to your child’s individual differences. Sessions foster play, encourage curiosity and exploring. Therapy sessions are tailored to meet your child’s developmental capacities and may include hiking, creek adventures, risk-taking opportunities, scavenger hunts, outdoor crafts, sensory exploration, and self-regulation skills. Sessions foster building the child’s self-confidence and self-esteem. Home therapy sessions also offered.

Hiking with others promotes social relationship building, offers opportunities for working together, planning, collaboration, and teamwork. Hikers will hike in a 2:1 or 1:1 hiking ratio with trained adults and occupational therapists. Partner hikes or small groups will be formed by occupational therapist based on availability to place your child with peers with similar goals and skills.
Re-evaluations are typically completed after 6 months of occupational therapy sessions to evaluate progress and current goals.

Opportunity allows collaboration with teachers and staff, recommendations for the classroom environment, strategies for regulation or coping strategies, total load management, and transitions.
“There needs to be a lot more emphasis on what a child CAN do, instead of what he cannot do.”
