Pediatric occupational therapy improves children's independence while strengthening the development of fine motor skills, sensory-motor skills, and visual-motor skills that children need to function and socialize.
Why Choose
Occupational Therapy?
What is Occupational Therapy?
The purest role of a kid is to play. Our therapists evaluate each child’s individual skills for playing, school performance, and daily activities and compare them with what is appropriate for their current age group. OT’s help children perform every day activities they may find challenging by addressing sensory, social, behavioral, motor, and environmental issues.
