Welcome to Your occupational therapy Center
Occupational therapy helps by improving skills, teaching children coping strategies and assisting teachers with tools in the classroom.
Early intervention decreases the length of therapy required and reduces gaps in learning
Occupational Therapy helps children who are having difficulty with..
- Gross motor skills (playing sports/ climbing playground equipment)
- Fine motor skills (coloring/ cutting/ handwriting)
- Visual perceptual skills (puzzles/ reading).
- Postural control (upright sitting position)
- Bilateral integration (using both sides of the body together)
- Praxis (novel motor movements)
- Concentration and attention (sensory processing and modulation)
- Behavior in the school environment
Just as adults need help calming our brains and bodies up or down, kids need to do this even more in order to concentrate and focus to learn. Children who struggle with this may have sensory difficulties.
