How can occupational therapy (OT) help children at school, at home, and on the playground?
Occupational therapists may provide services to a child who is having difficulty with coordination, handwriting, motor skills, or sensory processing so that he/she may better access the educational and home environment. The therapist utilizes a variety of treatment strategies to support and facilitate motor, sensory, and perceptual development. At the Child Success Center®, OT services are provided on a one-to-one basis for the majority of the session, ending occasionally in a small group setting in the children’s gym to promote social skills and peer interaction.
