Meet Our Founding Occupational Therapist
Catherine Wiggs, OTR/L, has been practicing as a pediatric occupational therapist since 1991, working in a variety of settings and bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience.
Cathie has advanced training in sensory integration through the University of California, 610 graduate course, and is certified to administer and interpret the Sensory Integration and Praxis Test (SIPT), which has since been replaced by the EASI, in which Cathie is currently being trained. Cathie has substantial post-graduate continuing education in Perceptual Enrichment Program (PEP), Handwriting Without Tears, Therapeutic Listening, The Alert Program, Zone of Regulation, Level Up Autism, Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration (MNRI), Michelle Garcia Winner’s with Updated Social Curriculum, Sarah Ward, Peg Dawson, and Landmark College for executive functioning skills.
Cathie has a strong interest in working with individuals with sensory processing disorders, neurodivergent profiles, motor skill and visual perceptual delays, executive functioning deficits, and learning disabilities. Cathie graduated from Towson State University in 1991 with a bachelor’s in science degree in Occupational Therapy.
Cathie is a lifelong learner and always open to learning something new, especially if it will benefit her clients.
The Foundation of Growth
Our goal is simple: to give your child or teen the tools they need to navigate their world with less frustration and greater joy.
Sensory Systems: We take a bottom-up approach to learning, development, and behavior by first addressing the sensory processing needs, so they feel regulated and safe.
Sensory-motor Development: We carefully scaffold motor activities in novel ways with the just-right challenge to stretch their limitations, build skills, and boost confidence.
Perceptual Motor Development: Improving how the brain interprets and interacts with the physical world with greater precision through exploring space, making connections, and problem-solving.
Higher level learning: Training the brain to plan, focus, sequence, and follow through on tasks needed for academics, daily living skills, and behavior.

Bridging the Gap Between "I Can't" and "I Did It."
From sensory overwhelm to frustration with a multi-step project, MotorWorks Therapy looks at the "whole person" to uncover the root of their challenges. We don’t just treat symptoms; we build the foundational skills your child, teen, or young adult needs to play, learn, work, and grow independently.
We provide specialized occupational therapy tailored to your family’s unique needs, together turning daily struggles into lifelong successes.
