Occupational therapists address skills that help individuals be successful
in their occupations. Pediatric occupational therapists understand that
school, play, and self-care are the "occupations" of childhood.
We are dedicated to helping children participate in life to their fullest
potential and develop the skills to become functional, independent children.
Your child may benefit from occupational therapy if they:
Have difficulty using two hands together for tasks
Have difficulty adjusting to new environments or to sensations such as
sounds, touch, or movement
Spin, rock, or rub objects excessively
Have difficulty using tools for writing or feeding
Have poor handwriting
Have difficulty getting dressed or using buttons, hooks, or fasteners
Have trouble playing with peers
Have trouble tolerating the taste or texture of foods or may be a picky eater
