Occupational Therapy
The aim of occupational therapy is to achieve independence, meaning and satisfaction in all aspects of a child’s life, otherwise referred to as activities of daily living (ADL). For a child with learning, sensory or motor challenges this may mean help with:
- Fine motor coordination for activities such as tying shoes or grasping a pencil to improve writing mechanics
- Handwriting Clinic
- Oral sensory feeding program for picky eaters, nutritional challenges,and/or weaning from G-tube
- Sensory integration processing to help regulate multiple forms of incoming sensory stimuli, or to improve specific auditory or visual processing skills
- Occupational Therapy can include a home visit for a ”sensory diet” specific to your child and his home environment, although this service may be private pay ($400.00).
- General self help skills such as dressing and toileting
Comments or questions are welcome.
