Occupational Therapy
Led by our team of Registered and Licensed Occupational Therapists (OTR/L). Occupational Therapy helps children develop the skills to participate in the basic building blocks of daily life. OT utilizes a combination of sensory, play-based, and activity-based interventions to challenge each child while setting them up for long-term success. We take a unique, holistic approach to care, working with the child to address the clinical condition and adapting habits so children can participate more fully in day-to-day life. Our role is to serve as a guide, by helping the child establish health and life goals—and then working with the child to find the interventions, technology, and equipment that work best for them.
Goals
Occupational Therapists help with barriers that affect a child’s emotional, social, and physical needs. OT is focused on the child’s long-term health and well-being. The goals of Occupational Therapy (OT) are to:
