about
Confident Kids offers home-based occupational therapy to facilitate successful social, emotional, physical, behavioral and cognitive development of children and their families.
Welcome!
Health, Movement, Wellbeing
Confident Kids is based in Delaware, Ohio. We offer home-based occupational therapy to facilitate successful social, emotional, physical, behavioral and cognitive development of children and their families.
Since working with many families, I understand how demanding and overwhelming it can be to support your child everyday with consistent tasks and engagement to increase their development.
I'm here to be your family's support - as a coach, educator, therapist and to help your child develop skills and build confidence to promote positive growth.
My goal for each interaction is to boost your child's confidence through engagement, meaningful play, and education.
ABOUT ME
Calli Studebaker
My love for occupational therapy started when I volunteered at a summer camp for kids with Muscular Dystrophy. I fell in love with the problem-solving aspect of OT and the profession's unique perspective on helping kids participate in activities they enjoy and find meaningful.
I earned my bachelor's degree at Otterbein University. I continued my education at Kettering Medical College where I graduated with my Doctorate in Occupational Therapy. I have worked as a home health therapist doing early intervention and in a private pediatric outpatient setting. I have experience working with children of various ages, diagnoses, and abilities.
I enjoy working with families and providing them with practical solutions. I practice a family-centered approach that I feel best supports the child's development and progress toward their goals.
Each child and their family are unique and deserve a therapist that can put in the time to provide individualized therapy.
I look forward to working with your child and can't wait for them to reach their maximum potential!

My Approach
I use a family-centered approach that I feel best supports the child's development and progress toward their goals.
Each child and their family are unique and deserve a therapist that can put in the time to provide individualized therapy.
NATURAL ENVIRONMENT
Working with kids in their own environment where they are comfortable and can easily generalize their skills is the basis of my approach. I believe kids learn best when they are using their skills in their own environment. I want to work with your child and family to create an individualized plan and goals. The timelines I set are meant to be practical and attainable. I also want to provide you with the skills you need to help your child reach their maximum potential.

I'M HERE TO SUPPORT YOU
Let's get started.
Consults are 30-minute phone calls free of charge for me to gain a better understanding of your child’s needs.
This is an opportunity for me to determine if your child will benefit from occupational therapy services. If I feel occupational therapy is not the right fit I will work with you to find the necessary resources you need.
