What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational Therapy (OT) focuses on helping children develop the skills they need to grow into functional, independent adults. Through meaningful activity & play, occupational therapists assist children with physical, cognitive, and social emotional needs. Treatment can range from engaging the child in fun activities to assist with coordination to assisting caregivers in better meeting the needs of their child.
