About Develup Box
Develup Box, LLC was established in 2020 when Adam and Lindsay were inspired to combine their passion and professions into a business that helps caregivers better understand their child's developmental journey. Adam is a licensed pediatric occupational therapist, and Lindsay is a board-certified music therapist. Together, they used their expertise to create a quarterly subscription box to support the developmental needs of your child's first 2 years of life. To accurately address every milestone, we have created 8 different boxes, which focuses on 3 months at a time. Each box contains different materials, such as toys, bottles, utensils, bowls for feeding, instruments, and books. Additionally, each box contains the most up-to-date information about your child's development and meaningful activities to engage in with your child using the items in the boxes. Below you will find a general description of each box:

What is occupational therapy?
Occupational therapy is the use of individualized assessments and interventions to develop, rehabilitate, or maintain full engagement and participation in daily routines and activities within one's life. Specifically, pediatric occupational therapy focuses on promoting the development of children through engagement in meaningful activities to address play, sensory processing, self feeding, self-care tasks, functional mobility, and cognition. Pediatric occupational therapists assist individuals 0-21 years old meet their greatest potential through activities and interventions that are both evidenced-based and meaningful to those individuals. An occupational therapist must complete a Master's Degree from an accredited occupational therapy program, a 4-year Bachelors undergraduate degree, two clinical fieldwork rotations, and pass the NBCOT exam to become board-certified.
What is music therapy?
Music therapy is the individualized and evidence-based use of music interventions to address social, emotional, developmental, communication, and cognitive goals with a wide variety of ages and diagnoses. Music therapy utilizes the elements of music, such as rhythm, melody, and tempo to activate different areas of the brain involved in learning and speech. Music therapy focuses on the relationship between the client, therapist, and the music itself to address goals. A music therapist must complete a 4-year Bachelor's degree or equivalency program, an approved internship, and pass an exam to become board-certified.
