Pediatric OT
for children of all ages and ability level
Occupational Therapy is a treatment that focuses on helping individuals achieve independence in all areas of their lives. Specifically occupational therapists work on self care, productivity and leisure.
Children's productivity is play and learning, both of which are crucial for development. When a child's ability is affected as a result of injury, illness, disability or disease, an occupational therapist can evaluate a child's skills for daily activities, school performance and self care activities and compare them to what is developmentally appropriate for an age group. Treatment is focused on improving a child's skill level to meet those of his/her peers.
