About Brain Waves OT

We are here to help kids thrive and families feel supported

Hi, I’m Ellery Lockwood — a registered, licensed occupational therapist based in San Luis Obispo. I specialize in sensory integration and trauma-informed care for children between the ages of 0–10.

I also hold a specialty certification in Ayres Sensory Integration and advanced ADHD rehabilitation and treatment. My approach is holistic and strengths-based, which means we focus on what your child can do — and build from there.

I believe play is the most powerful tool we have. Every session is designed to feel like fun for your child while making real, meaningful progress toward their goals.

Daily activities

Designed to help children realize their potential

Sensory Integration

For kids who feel overwhelmed by noise, touch, movement, or daily transitions. I help their nervous system learn to process the world more comfortably.

ADHD Support

With a specialty certification in ADHD rehabilitation, I offer focused strategies for attention, impulse control, and regulation in real-life settings.

Gross Motor Development

Climbing, jumping, balance, coordination — I support the big-body skills that build confidence in movement and physical play.

Fine Motor Skills

From holding a crayon to buttoning a coat — I support the small-muscle development that makes everyday tasks manageable and confidence-building.

Play Skills

Play is a child's primary occupation. I help kids develop the skills to engage, connect, and have fun with peers in meaningful ways.

School Readiness

From self-regulation in the classroom to pencil grip and attention span, I help kids arrive at school ready to learn and ready to thrive.
