What is OT? How can it help?
Common challenges that arise in the course of life may benefit from skilled Occupational Therapy intervention. Treatment plans are tailored with a focus on individual strengths and the whole, complex person in mind.
Poor Handwriting
Handwriting is a complex skill that requires the use of many systems. OTs can help address these challenges.
Inattentive
Easily distracted or can’t sit still? Attention requires the whole body to be in a ‘just-right’ state.
Hand-Eye Coordination
OTs address coordination to improve play and school skills like hitting a target, batting a ball, or copying from a backboard.
Behaviors
All behaviors have a meaning; difficulty with sensory processing and self-modulation may be contributing factors.
Poor Self-Care
Teeth-brushing deficiencies or poor toileting care? Not laziness – may be an indicator of delays in other systems.
Sensory Issues
Picky eater, sensitivity to sounds, complains about tags in shirts, crashing into things? Constantly moving and fidgeting?
