Occupational Therapy

Pediatric occupational therapy focuses on helping children develop the skills they need for daily living and functioning. This type of therapy addresses various developmental challenges that may affect a child's physical, social, emotional, and cognitive abilities. Occupational therapists work with children who have conditions such as autism spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy, developmental delays, and sensory processing disorders. Therapy often involves engaging the child in play and activities that promote fine motor skills, coordination, and sensory integration. The goal is to enable children to participate in everyday activities—whether it's self-care tasks like dressing and feeding, or engaging in play and social interactions with peers. By tailoring interventions to meet each child's unique needs, occupational therapy helps them build confidence and independence, enhancing their overall quality of life.
