Kids

The primary occupations of childhood are school and play. Occupational therapists (OTs) are well-equipped to help children develop essential skills needed for success in these areas. They focus on:

• Handwriting: Improving legibility and writing ease.
• Fine-Motor Skills: Enhancing the ability to perform small movements, such as using utensils or tying shoelaces.
• Visual Skills: Supporting visual perception and coordination.
• Social Skills: Encouraging interaction and communication with peers.

Therapy sessions for children often incorporate play because this is how children learn and develop best. By creating a fun and engaging environment, OTs can help children build the skills they need in a way that feels natural and enjoyable.
