Children who have sensory, physical, and developmental health issues benefit from occupational therapy since it focuses on guiding them to learn different skills that they can use for the rest of their lives. Among the services an occupational therapist can provide are the following:
Motor skills development
Depending on the needs of the child, this may involve therapy to improve their grasp and release that is important in holding cutlery, learning handwriting skills, and practicing typing and computer skills.
Daily living activities
They will be supported as they learn how to maintain good hygiene and comfort through bathing, dressing, and grooming, as well as feeding themselves, among others.
Eye-hand coordination
With this, they can learn vital skills that may be important in school like copying notes from a board or participating in school and play activities.
Behavioral Management
Our therapists can support clients in managing their strong feelings like anger and frustration and guide them in finding healthier ways to express them.
