What is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational therapy provides opportunities for individuals with physical, mental, and emotional deviations to achieve maximum independence and self-sufficiency. This is achieved by developing, restoring, maintaining, or modifying their daily self-care and work-related skills.

When is it Applied?

Children usually participate in many daily activities – playing with friends, eating, dressing and undressing, taking care of their room, going to school, doing homework, engaging in sports or lessons, and more.

All these activities take place in a social (family, friends) and physical environment.

When a child is unable to fully participate in age-appropriate activities due to physical, sensory, or intellectual difficulties, an occupational therapist steps in to help.

Occupational Therapist

The occupational therapist examines and influences the entire spectrum of activities a child can perform—ranging from self-care, access, and learning to transitions between activities, rest periods, play, and communication with peers and teachers. In their direct work with the child, the occupational therapist collaborates closely with the child and their parents.
