Meet Elena Cotayo, MS, OTR/L
Occupational therapist, educator, and founder of SensoVia Therapy. Helping families better understand their children through pediatric occupational therapy, parent education, and the brain-body connection.
Every child deserves to participate fully in everyday life.
Yet many families spend years trying one strategy after another without truly understanding why their child struggles in the first place.
I created SensoVia Therapy because I believe meaningful change begins with understanding—not quick fixes.
My work brings together pediatric occupational therapy, sensory processing, nervous system regulation, and the brain-body connection to help families understand the patterns influencing their child's participation in everyday life.
I don't focus on isolated behaviors—I help parents understand the whole child.
Every child's participation is influenced by many interacting factors, including sensory processing, nervous system regulation, environment, routines, relationships, and the demands of everyday life. Looking at only one piece rarely tells the full story.
Understanding these patterns creates clarity. And when families have clarity, they're able to make more confident decisions that support their child's growth in meaningful, lasting ways.
Working together should feel collaborative, not overwhelming.
Every recommendation is individualized to your child, your family's routines, and your everyday life. Rather than providing generic strategies, I take the time to understand what is happening beneath the surface and develop practical solutions that fit your family's unique needs.
My goal is to make complex clinical concepts easier to understand, so you leave each session feeling supported, informed, and confident about your next steps.
A professional foundation for individualized care.
