Jackie Bilancia – Pediatric Occupational Therapist in Red Bank, NJ
Helping Kids Thrive with Occupational Therapy
Hi, I’m Jackie Bilancia
I'm a pediatric Occupational Therapist with over 14 years of experience in schools, early intervention, and outpatient settings. I take a whole-child approach, supporting sensory processing, emotional regulation, motor development, feeding, and self-care skills. I love partnering with families to help children build confidence, independence, and success in their everyday lives.
Why I love what I do:
What I love most about being an Occupational Therapist is helping children discover what they’re capable of by understanding the root of their challenges, creating individualized solutions, and partnering with families to build confidence and make a meaningful difference in everyday life.
Why I’m passionate about in-home care:
I’m excited about in-home therapy because it allows me to support children in the environment where they learn and play every day, better understand their unique strengths and challenges, and partner closely with families to create meaningful strategies that carry over into daily life.
What does a Occupational Therapist Do?
Occupational therapists support children in building everyday skills—so they can grow, play, and be more independent. If your child struggles with things like getting dressed, using utensils, paying attention, or staying calm in new situations, an OT can help.
OTs focus on:
• Fine motor skills – like holding a pencil, buttoning a shirt, or using scissors
• Sensory processing – supporting kids who are extra sensitive to sounds, textures, or movement (or don’t seem to notice them at all)
• Emotional regulation – helping kids manage big feelings and focus at school or home
• Independence and daily skills – like brushing teeth, tying shoes, potty training, or washing hands.
Occupational therapy supports kids at home, at school, and in everyday life—so they can feel confident and capable in the things they do every day.
My Specialties
I specialize in:
How my practice is special
Root Cause-Focused, Individualized Care
I look beyond the surface to understand the underlying reasons behind a child’s challenges, whether they involve sensory processing, motor skills, visual abilities, emotional regulation, or other contributing factors. This allows me to create personalized therapy that addresses the whole child, not just the symptoms.
Family Partnership & Empowerment
I believe the best outcomes happen when families are active participants in the therapy process. I provide practical strategies, education, and ongoing support while explaining the purpose behind activities so caregivers feel confident carrying therapy into everyday routines.
Safe, Trusting Environment for Growth
I prioritize building trust and creating a space where children feel safe, understood, and valued. When children feel secure and supported, they are more willing to explore, develop new skills, build confidence, and enjoy the therapy process.
