A Quick Read Regarding Pediatric Therapy
Our team of licensed occupational therapists are healthcare professionals who assess and treat impairments that affect a child’s ability to function effectively in their home, school, and community environments. They aim to support children in developing activities of daily living, self-help skills, and engaging in meaningful and age-appropriate activities. Occupational therapists work to enhance fine motor skills, coordination, and balance, as well as facilitate adaptation to their environment through practices such as Sensory Integration, Activities of Daily Living (ADL) training, and reflex integration techniques.
Occupational therapy services promote participation in daily activities that hold personal significance and support independence. These interventions are designed to assist children who have experienced injury, illness, disability, or psychological challenges, helping them develop, improve, maintain, or regain functional independence.
If your child has special needs or challenges that impact their ability to perform everyday tasks, they may benefit from an occupational therapy evaluation. For example, does your child experience difficulty with writing or using utensils, struggles with dressing tasks such as buttoning, tying shoelaces, zipping, or unzipping clothing? Do they face challenges with attention, following directions, sequencing, or transitioning between activities? If you answered yes to any of these questions, occupational therapy could be beneficial for your child’s development.
