Pediatric Occupational Therapy That Meets Your Child Where They Are
My Approach
Grand Peaks Pediatric Therapy
At Grand Peaks Pediatric Therapy, I provide individualized, family- centered occupational therapy in children's natural environments, including home and community. My goal is to help children build skills and confidence they need to participate more fully in everyday life.
Meet Linda Andersson-Riggs, OTR/L
Hi, I’m Linda Andersson-Riggs, OTR/L, a pediatric occupational therapist with more than 22 years of experience helping children build skills, gain confidence, and participate more fully in everyday life.
I currently work as a pediatric occupational therapist at Children’s Hospital Colorado and also provide Early Intervention services to infants, toddlers, and their families. Throughout my career, I have worked with children of all ages and with a wide range of developmental, sensory, neurological, and neurodivergent needs.
My areas of experience include sensory processing, autism, ADHD, developmental delays, cerebral palsy, hemiplegia, feeding and oral-motor challenges, fine motor development, coordination, self-care, attention, and emotional regulation.
I believe therapy should be individualized, engaging, and meaningful to each child and family. My approach is play-based and family-centered, building on each child’s strengths while addressing the skills that make everyday activities challenging. I created Grand Peaks Pediatric Therapy to bring experienced, individualized pediatric occupational therapy to children and families in Grand County and surrounding mountain communities.
