Pediatric Occupational Therapy helps children gain independence while also strengthening the development of fine motor skills, sensory skills, and visual skills that children need to function and socialize in the world around them.
Occupational Therapy and Speech Therapy overlap in many areas, due to how directly connected the different parts of the human body are with one another. Many areas of difficulty addressed by an Occupational Therapist (OT) relate directly to a child’s speech and language development, such as play skills and social skills. Our OTs and Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) will often work closely together to focus on maximizing functional progress during therapy, in order to help new skills carry over into other daily living settings.
A child’s role in life is to play and interact with others. Our Pediatric Occupational Therapist evaluates a child’s current skills related to play, school performance, and daily activities. OTs help children perform daily activities they may find challenging by addressing sensory, social, behavioral, motor, and environmental challenges.
