Pediatric Occupational Therapy
What is Pediatric Occupational Therapy (OT)?
Pediatric Occupational Therapy helps children to promote and gain independence by determining where delays or limitations are coming from and by strengthening the development of fine motor skills, sensory motor skills, cognitive skills, visual motor skills, social development, and more, which are necessary for children to function, establish self-care routines, and grow into functional, independent individuals.
Pediatric Occupational Therapists are experts in analyzing and designing activities to help children of all ages and with all types of needs. Pediatric Occupational Therapy is critical for parents to promote age-appropriate skills and prevent any delays in development. Due to the nature of developmental skills acquisition, the longer a child's delays are left unaddressed, the higher the possibility that the problem will compound as the child ages.
