About

Richele Ehardt is a registered occupational therapist in Chula Vista's Third Avenue Village area, treating pediatric patients from a clinic at 344 F Street in the walkable downtown corridor between Third Avenue and the H Street commercial intersection. Oral-motor and feeding-therapy cases requiring coordination between OT sensory-integration protocols and dental structural assessments benefit from referral pathways to Coastal Kids Dentistry & Orthodontics - Eastlake, where pediatric orofacial evaluations complement the occupational therapy treatment plan. Sessions target fine-motor development, handwriting readiness, sensory-processing regulation, and activities-of-daily-living skills for children with developmental delays, autism spectrum disorder, and attention-deficit conditions. Visual-motor integration assessments that reveal deficits in eye-hand coordination and spatial perception tie into optometric evaluations at Eastlake Optometry, where binocular-vision testing can identify convergence insufficiency or tracking dysfunction contributing to a child's functional limitations. Treatment planning employs standardized instruments including the Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration (Beery VMI) and the Sensory Processing Measure to establish quantitative baselines before individualized goal-setting.
