What Is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational therapists help individuals with purposeful, goal-directed interventions in assessing and treating persons with developmental and/or acquired disabilities. Occupational therapy helps participants become functionally independent with their daily routine. For children, these “occupations” include self-care, play and leisure skills, social participation, school, work, and volunteer services.

Occupational therapy evaluates and provides intervention in areas such as:

  • Small object manipulation
  • Handwriting
  • Sensory integration
  • Perceptual skills
  • Oral-motor skills
  • Activities of daily living such as dressing, bathing, and toileting
  • Instrumental activities of daily living such as using the telephone, accessing transportation, and so on

The occupational therapist can help children achieve meaningful goals by enhancing growth and development, promoting inclusive environments, strengthening child-family bonds, increasing family engagement and participation in daily routines, improving academic skills, and building play and leisure skills.

Seminars

The staff of therapy services offers a variety of informative and useful workshops and seminars for parents on topics such as:

  • Childhood development
  • Handwriting
  • Therapeutic home activities
