Occupational therapy is available to assist children in becoming as independent as possible in their daily living. A child’s occupations include dressing, feeding, bathing, and playing. An occupational therapist will create an environment that will assist in developing underlying skills to help the child reach his or her highest potential. Areas that occupational therapists can address include
- Self-care skills (dressing, bathing, utensil use, etc.)
- Feeding skills (expanding diets to include a variety of foods)
- Sensory Challenges
- Emotional Challenges
- Attention skills
- Fine motor skills
- Visual motor/perceptual skills
Although we specialize in serving children with autism and developmental differences, our occupational therapy team can provide services to children, adolescents, and young adults with many different needs and diagnoses.
