Occupational Therapy
When a parent hears that their child will need “occupational therapy” (OT), it might sound like their child needs help with “work skills.” In reality occupational therapy is focused on skills that help children do well in their daily life. Our therapists help children of all different abilities improve their self-regulation, coordination, handwriting, and even eating abilities. And you can be assured, even though we challenge the children, we never make it feel like “work.”
We draw upon extensive training in many specialty areas to target skills needed for: coordination, school readiness and performance, self-help such as feeding, dressing and grooming, safety, focus and attention, play/social interaction, eye-hand coordination, calming and regulatory behaviors and more. Families receive support to help them apply therapy techniques at home.
