PEDIATRIC OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY
Pediatric Occupational Therapy (OT) is the profession that helps children do the things they want and need to do on a daily basis. These daily activities include playing, learning, interacting with peers and caregivers, and developing life skills. Occupational Therapy addresses fine motor skills, coordination, sensory processing and modulation, feeding difficulties, self regulation, and visual motor skills.
Children may benefit from OT if they:
have difficulty with handwriting
exhibit poor balance and/or coordination
have behavioral challenges or social skills issues
have difficulty transitioning to or from activities or people
have difficulty attending to tasks
have too high / too low muscle tone
have feeding or eating issues (picky eater)
often have emotional outbursts
