Occupational Therapy

Pediatric Occupational Therapy Overview

Pediatric Occupational Therapists address a wide variety of physical, emotional, behavioral and social issues and conditions that limit a child s ability to perform their occupations as a child, such as learning, playing, performing activities of daily living and interacting with others. Occupational Therapists use functional activities, combined with manual muscle techniques, specialized programs, approaches and assistive technology to achieve independence and improve progress in children with special needs.
