What is Occupational Therapy?
Our Pediatric Occupational Therapists strive to help children improve their fine-motor and sensory motor skills for daily success at school and home. We support the following areas:
-
Sensory-Motor Processing and Integration – the ability to self-regulate and beware of environmental challenges. Challenges with transitioning, strong aversions and perseverations
-
Self-Care Skills - feeding, dressing, and grooming
-
Hand Strengthening and Coordination Skills - required for activities such as cutting with scissors, coloring, and writing, buttoning, using feeding utensils, etc.
-
Upper Extremity and Core Strengthening- for coordination and movement
-
Adaptive Equipment - recommendation, training, for use of equipment
-
Neurodevelopmental Treatment - as per diagnosis
-
Visual Motor and Handwriting Skills
-
Feeding and Oral Motor Skills - eating and swallowing safely for child growth
