How to help determine if your child can benefit from
Occupational Therapy Services
Occupational Therapy (OT) helps children learn the skills they need to function within their home, school, and community environments. OT focuses on improving your child’s school readiness skills, such as handwriting, cutting and drawing, using school tools and materials. OT helps your child learn to dribble a ball, gain motor skills to play outside with friends. OT helps a child learn to hold a spoon, tie their shoes and get dressed for more independence. OT can help a child learn self-regulation strategies to decrease anxieties, defensiveness, and behavioral over-reactions.
