Providence, RI Therapists & Sensory Tools Resource Guide
Find occupational therapists, physical therapists, ABA providers, and sensory tool resources in Providence and across Rhode Island.
Providence is a healthcare powerhouse relative to its size. The metro area of 1.6 million (spanning into southeastern Massachusetts) is anchored by Lifespan (Rhode Island Hospital, Hasbro Children's Hospital, Bradley Hospital), Care New England (Women & Infants, Kent Hospital), and the Providence VA Medical Center. Brown University's Warren Alpert Medical School is among the nation's most respected, and the University of Rhode Island trains OTs and PTs who serve the region. Bradley Hospital — the nation's first psychiatric hospital for children — provides pediatric behavioral health and neuropsychological services. Rhode Island's compact geography means Providence-based practitioners effectively serve the entire state. Beast Putty's silicone formula handles New England's coastal weather — freezing winters and humid summers — without changing consistency.
