Occupational Therapy

What is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational therapy helps children and adolescents develop the skills necessary for independent functioning and success. Occupational Therapy engages your child in activities that develop important fine motor, sensory, visual motor, behavioral, and thinking skills. Development in these areas improves performance in valued daily activities, including dressing, feeding, writing, play, and social participation.
