Babies

The primary occupation of infancy is meeting developmental milestones. During this crucial stage, babies learn to eat, develop new motor skills, enhance visual skills, and begin to socialize. Occupational therapy (OT) provides essential support when babies face challenges in any of these areas.

• Motor Skills: Therapists assist in developing both gross and fine motor skills, facilitating movements such as reaching, grasping, and crawling.
• Visual Skills: OTs work on visual tracking and perception, which are vital for later learning and coordination.
• Socialization: Early intervention supports the development of social skills, aiding in interactions with caregivers and peers.
• Eating: OT helps with feeding issues, ensuring infants learn to eat effectively and safely.

By offering tailored interventions, occupational therapists help infants overcome obstacles and achieve their developmental milestones, fostering a strong foundation for future growth and learning through play.
