What Is Pediatric Occupational Therapy?

Understanding Occupational Therapy
Occupation refers to meaningful daily activities that bring structure and purpose to our lives. For children, this includes everything they need to do, are expected to do, and want to do. The goal of occupational therapy is to enhance a child’s ability to participate fully in these occupations by addressing sensory, motor, emotional, cognitive, and social challenges.
Our occupational therapists use evidence-based practices to deliver effective, results-driven care. Treatment plans are continually evaluated and adapted to maximize progress. Interventions may include:
- Teaching new skills
- Modifying environments for better accessibility and safety
- Providing assistive tools or adaptive devices
- Using therapeutic activities to improve coordination, strength, and dexterity
- Collaborating with families and other professionals to create a holistic support system
