What is Occupational Therapy?

The primary objective Occupational Therapist is to aid children in carrying out their daily “occupations” as independently as possible. For children, these occupations typically involve academic learning and engaging in play with peers. Occupational therapy is advantageous for a broad spectrum of conditions affecting children. This encompasses, but is not limited to, autism, birth injuries, cerebral palsy, developmental delays, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, sensory processing disorders, as well as traumatic injuries to the brain or spinal cord, among others.

OT Park'sOccupational Therapy

Our pediatric occupational therapy services cater to children of all ages, aiming to unlock their utmost potential. Our skilled and committed therapists employ a developmental methodology, focusing on enhancing fine and gross motor skills, sensory processing, handwriting, visual motor abilities, and self-help skills. Utilizing a diverse array of therapeutic tools and methods, we’re dedicated to assisting your child in reaching their objectives. We also emphasize the importance of parental involvement, recognizing that parents play a crucial role in their child’s therapeutic journey.

Children with sensory processing disorders or sensitivities benefit from OT, which helps them manage and respond to sensory information more effectively.
  • Better Cognitive Skills
Occupational therapy assists in enhancing cognitive functions such as attention, memory, problem-solving, and decision-making.

OT focuses on self-care skills, empowering children to perform daily activities like dressing, eating, and grooming independently.
  • Social Skill Development
Through various therapies, children learn to interact appropriately with peers and adults, improving their social interactions and relationships.

By addressing issues related to hand-eye coordination, attention, and fine motor skills, OT can positively impact a child’s performance in school.

  • Support for Special Needs
Children with conditions like autism, cerebral palsy, and developmental delays can make significant improvements in their daily functioning with the help of occupational therapy.
