Pediatric OT helps children with physical, sensory, or cognitive disabilities participate in daily life activities. OTs help kids reach developmental milestones that improve their daily life, such as playing, participation, learning, self-care, and doing schoolwork.
Grasping and releasing objects, playing, handwriting, tying shoes.
Walking, running, climbing, reaching, balance and coordination.
Visual, auditory, taste, smell, touch, vestibular (movement of body), and proprioceptive (position of body). Sensory processing disorders makes it difficult to regulate and respond appropriately to sensory input. We use a variety of techniques to help children develop the skills necessary to thrive in their environment.
These skills involve interpreting and understanding what we see and understanding shapes, letters, and numbers.
Play skills (i.e. stacking blocks or batting a ball) or copying work from a whiteboard in school.
Dressing, self-feeding, toileting, hygiene, etc.
Involve thinking, reading, remembering, and using language. They impact our social interaction skills, memory, concentration and learning abilities. Cognitive skills also affect our ability to play and interact with our environment.
Learning social cues, how to respond to others in our environment, and how to manage our feelings appropriately.
