Sprout believes that every child is capABLE and has the potential to thrive in their daily lives. We provide personalized occupational therapy plans to help our clients reach their fullest potential through evidence-based practices and the latest research on creative interventions to provide the best possible therapy for your child.
Our team of passionate occupational therapy practitioners are experienced in a range of areas, including pediatrics, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Sensory Processing Disorders, feeding, emotional regulation, fine motor/gross motor developmental milestones, optimizing self-care performance, independence, social skills, and handwriting for school success.
Here at Sprout, we believe in neurodivergent acceptance, meaning that every child should be accepted for the way they view the world around them. Navigating new or different environments can be challenging and no two people process stimuli the same. It is our mission to help your child develop their own set of unique skills to be as independent as possible as they grow and develop.

Hi! My name is Lauren Micallef, COTA/L and Founder of Sprout Pediatric Therapy, LLC. I've been married since 2019 and we have three children and two dogs. In my "free time", I am busy being a hockey mom. I graduated with honors with my Associates Degree in Applied Science and Occupational Therapy from Baker College in 2019 and obtained my Bachelors in GS in 2021. I love expanding my knowledge in areas tailored to pediatric OT through continuing education courses and researching/collecting data on new interventions and relevant studies. I have five years of pediatric OT experience and the heart and passion to create a clinic in the Downriver area to best service you and your children. I am so excited to be able to make my dream a reality.

Hello! My name is Heather Wood, OTR/L. I graduated from Western Michigan
University in 2010 with a Master's Degree in Occupational Therapy and a Bachelor's
Degree in Interdisciplinary Sciences. I have been practicing as an Occupational
Therapist for 14 years primarily in the SNF setting as well as providing therapy in homes
within our community. I have strived to build my knowledge and skill set over the years
acquiring experiences in all different settings and with various ages of clients. I have a
true passion for working with people and my goal is to always have a positive impact on
every person I work with and meet. I hope to find what drives your child to excel and
hone in on their strengths in order to build up their weaknesses. I have been married for
10 years and have two children. We love to be outdoors, and I’ve recently acquired a
green thumb for gardening with lots of canning as well. I am excited to be a part of a
wonderful new clinic and watch your child grow and excel in life.
