In-Home Pediatric Occupational Therapy in Madison, WI & Surrounding Areas
Helping children build fine motor, sensory processing, and daily living skills in the place they learn best—home.
Helping Children Build Skills for Everyday Life
I provide in-home pediatric occupational therapy for children who need support with fine motor skills, sensory processing, and daily routines.
I work with children who may struggle with things like fine motor skills, sensory & emotional regulation, daily living skills, or participating fully at home and school. My approach is individualized, play-based, and designed to meet your child where they are.
Sessions take place in your home, allowing your child to build skills in a familiar, comfortable environment while supporting real-life routines.
Real progress happens in real environments.
Children don’t live in a clinic — they live, play, and grow at home.
By providing therapy in your child’s natural environment, skills are practiced where they matter most, leading to stronger carryover and meaningful progress.

A Unique Perspective That Supports Your Whole Family
Jessica Wortman, MS, OTR
Pediatric Occupational Therapist
With 26 years of pediatric occupational therapy experience — including 17 years in school-based services — I bring both clinical expertise and real-life understanding to each session.
As a parent of a child with significant special needs, I understand the challenges families face beyond the therapy session. This perspective allows me to provide care that is compassionate, realistic, and truly supportive.
I share the pros and cons of various approaches to treatment so you can make informed decisions for your child. Together, we adjust strategies as your child grows and your family’s needs evolve.
