Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy can help improve individual’s cognitive, physical, and motor skills and build their self-esteem and sense of accomplishment. Occupational Therapy deals with gross and fine motor skills, visual-perception, muscle strength, cognitive skills, activities to cope with daily living and sensory-processing deficits through a sensory integration (SI) approach. SI makes the child feel sensory experiences that include touch, movement, body awareness, sight, sound, smell and taste. The ultimate goal of OT is to bring the child from an over sensitive/under reactive state through sensory stimulation.

Occupational Therapy (OT) empowers and facilitates children’s participation in activities of everyday living (i.e. occupations). Our OT team takes a developmental approach to address-

  • Physical ability (fine and gross motor skills)
  • Sensory processing and modulation
  • Handwriting skills
  • Visual motor skills
  • Self-help skills
  • Body awareness
  • Coordination of movement
  • Self regulation
