OCCUPAtIONAL THERAPIST (OT)

Occupational Therapists can address various developmental areas, including motor skills, cognitive skills, social skills, and sensory processing. OT services center around "occupations," which are the everyday activities children engage in, such as playing, eating, dressing, sleeping, and socializing. OT's help children improve the skills needed to participate in these daily activities independently and meaningfully. This includes physical skills like grasping, coordination, and balance, as well as cognitive skills like problem-solving, attention, and sensory processing. OT sessions often incorporate playful activities that target specific skills. This can involve using adaptive toys, modifying environments, and engaging in structured play activities.

Many children with developmental delays have sensory processing challenges, which are often associated with behavior challenges. Occupational therapy is strongly recommended for young children with autism and related conditions that may result in weak muscles or motor skills, sensorial imbalance, emotional challenges, or an inability to self-soothe. Our OT's provide families and caregivers with effective strategies and activities to understand and manage your child's sensory input.
