Occupational Therapy

The goal of OT is to help children acquire or improve the skills needed to perform the activities or occupations of daily life. Occupational therapists are master’s level healthcare professionals who implement science-driven, evidence-based holistic treatment approaches that take into account psychological, social, and environmental factors that may be impacting functioning. OT is an extremely broad field, but in the pediatric practice area, OT addresses fine and gross motor skills, activities of daily living (dressing, toilet training, feeding, etc.), pragmatic skills, visual-perceptual skills, visual motor skills, and sensory processing skills.
