Why it is important
Pediatric occupational therapy (OT) is a child-centered approach that helps children develop the skills they need to participate in everyday activities and reach their full potential.
- A child with fine motor delays may benefit from OT activities that help them learn how to grasp and manipulate objects, such as threading beads or playing with play dough.
- A child with gross motor delays may benefit from OT activities that help them improve their balance, coordination, and strength, such as playing on the playground or swimming.
- A child with cognitive delays may benefit from OT activities that help them learn how to think, problem-solve, and remember, such as playing educational games or doing puzzles.
- A child with social-emotional delays may benefit from OT activities that help them learn how to interact with others, express their emotions, and manage their behavior, such as playing with other children or learning how to take turns.
What happens during pediatric occupational therapy?
During the evaluation process, we carefully observe the child’s interactions with them, assessing their communication patterns, emotional responses, and overall comfort level. We also gather feedback from parents or caregivers to gain a deeper understanding of the child’s temperament, preferences, and any potential challenges that may arise in the therapeutic relationship.
