Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy (OT) helps children build the skills they need for everyday activities like playing, learning, dressing, eating, and interacting with others. Using individualized, play-based therapy, occupational therapists help children develop independence, confidence, and participation at home, school, and in the community.

What to Expect During Occupational Therapy

OT sessions are engaging and play-based, using activities such as games, obstacle courses, crafts, and pretend play to build skills like coordination, sensory processing, self-regulation, and problem-solving. Therapists partner with families to provide strategies that support success beyond the clinic.

Your child may benefit from OT if they have difficulty with:

• Dressing, grooming, or other self-care skills

• Feeding or picky eating

• Sensory processing

• Emotional regulation or transitions

• Fine or gross motor skills

• Attention, organization, or routines

• Play, social interaction, or independence

An evaluation can help determine if occupational therapy is the right fit.
