What is Occupational Therapy for Kids?
Occupational therapy (OT) for kids is a specialized area of therapy that focuses on helping children develop the skills they need to perform everyday activities or "occupations" to the best of their abilities. These occupations can include activities such as playing, learning, socializing, self-care tasks (e.g., dressing, eating), and school-related activities.
Occupational therapists who work with children assess various aspects of a child's development, including motor skills, sensory processing, cognitive abilities, social skills, and emotional regulation. Based on their assessments, therapists develop individualized treatment plans to address specific challenges and help children improve their functional abilities.
