Occupational Therapy
What is OT?
Occupational Therapy (OT) helps children develop the skills they need to participate in everyday activities—things like playing, learning, moving, and taking care of themselves. For kids, these “occupations” might include getting dressed, using their hands for writing or feeding, managing big feelings, or joining in at school and with friends. Pediatric OTs use play-based approaches to build independence, confidence, and success in daily life.
Areas of Service:
Sensory Processing and Regulation
Kids experience the world in many different ways. Some notice sights, sounds, or textures more than others, and big feelings can feel hard to manage. OT helps children understand their senses, stay calm, and handle emotions so they can feel confident and ready for anything.
Motor Skills
From running and jumping to holding a pencil or using scissors, motor skills help kids do it all. OT builds strength, coordination, and fine motor control so children can play, learn, and tackle everyday tasks with confidence.
Play and Social Skills
Play is how kids learn, connect, and grow. OT helps children develop social skills, confidence, and teamwork so they can make friends, join group activities, and have fun while learning important life skills.
Self Care Skills
Everyday tasks like getting dressed, brushing teeth, or feeding themselves are big accomplishments. OT helps kids gain independence, build routines, and feel proud of what they can do on their own.
