Babies On Track is here to guide you in keeping your baby on the right track in achieving developmental milestones
Prenatal and postnatal sessions are given to expectant and new parents to help navigate the first few months of life. Group and/or individual sessions are offered to teach you how to position, stimulate, and massage your baby to promote healthy sensory motor development.
What you will learn:
Babies On Track is committed to PREVENTION and early INTERVENTION of delays in early development. Prenatal and postal education is vital to insure babies are positioned properly to PREVENT and TREAT plagiocephaly (Flat Head) and optimally stimulated to reach all of the foundations of early sensory-motor development.
WHY DO TUMMY TIME?
Now that all babies must sleep on their backs, it is vitally important for healthy development that your baby spend good quality time on his/her belly while awake. TUMMY TIME is a simple activity that positively impacts a baby's motor development, speech, vision, balance, coordination, feeding and digestion. Tummy Time movement strengthens core muscles while fostering gross motor, fine motor, and visual perceptual skills. It is essential in building postural muscles and is the early foundation for later skills such as rolling, crawling, sitting, walking and fine motor development.
SLEEPING BABY = BACK
AWAKE BABY = TUMMY
Learn how to do TUMMY TIME so your baby will LOVE it!

She has a vast knowledge and experience in working with children of all ages and a multitude of disabilities.
Sharon's work settings have included hospitals, rehabilitation centers, schools, private clinics and home health.
While Sharon continues to treat and work with children with special needs, she is passionate about educating all parents including those of TYPICAL kids. She has seen a shift in referrals for OT from kids with clear clinical diagnoses,
(Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy , Autism, etc,) to receiving referrals of TYPICALLY developing school-aged kids who are struggling. They require OT intervention simply because they may have missed the basics during those first crucial years of development, including TUMMY TIME. These children later present with poor fine motor skills, poor motor planning skills and sensory-motor difficulties. Sharon's mission is to keep Babies ON TRACK in achieving ALL of their milestones and strengthening healthy sensory-motor development in ALL children
