What is Occupational Therapy?
Pediatric occupational therapy focuses on helping children build the essential skills they need to grow into independent and capable adults. For children, their primary “occupation” is play! Through play, they learn to interact with others, care for themselves, and develop important life skills.
Understanding Pediatric Occupational Therapy (OT)
After assessing your child’s needs through evaluations and conversations with your family, we develop a tailored care plan focused on key areas of their development. A primary goal is to enhance coordination and balance during gross motor activities, such as running, jumping, or climbing. These skills are vital for physical development, building confidence, and engaging in social and recreational play.
We also work on fostering age-appropriate play and social interaction skills. Through guided activities, your child can learn how to connect with others, navigate social situations, and participate in meaningful play experiences.
Another focus is on hygiene and self-care skills, helping your child learn routines like brushing teeth, dressing independently, and managing daily tasks that promote independence and confidence.
Fine motor development is equally important and includes activities to improve pencil grip, manipulate toys, and use tools like scissors. These skills are essential for school readiness and everyday functioning.
By addressing these areas, we aim to help your child build a strong foundation for growth, independence, and success.
