What is Occupational Therapy (OT)?
Pediatric Occupational Therapy is a healthcare profession that helps children with various physical, cognitive, and developmental disabilities or delays to perform meaningful daily activities and tasks to improve overall well being, independence, and quality of life. The term "occupation" refers to any activity that occupies your time and brings purpose to your life. A child's primary occupations include: play, feeding and eating, learning, sleep, and self-care such as dressing and hygiene tasks. OTs use a variety of techniques and tools, such as sensory integration therapy, play-based therapy, motor skill development, and adaptive equipment to help children achieve their goals. Collaboration with families and other healthcare professionals ensures comprehensive care.

- Not reaching developmental milestones such as sitting, crawling, walking
- Having difficulty manipulating toys and puzzles, holding a pencil or silverware, coloring/drawing/tracing/writing, or using zippers or buttons
