Pediatric occupational therapy is a specialized branch of occupational therapy designed to help children, from infants to adolescents, develop, improve, or regain the skills needed for everyday activities, also known as "occupations." These occupations may include basic tasks like eating, dressing, playing, schoolwork, and socializing.
Pediatric occupational therapists focus on improving a child's fine motor skills, sensory processing, coordination, cognitive abilities, and more—all of which are essential for their independence and overall well-being. They work with patients on self-care tasks, hand-eye coordination, visual-motor integration, social interaction, school readiness, adaptive techniques, sensory regulation, play skills, and the use of assistive technology, among other areas.
Our therapists have experience with specialized treatment methods including TMR Tots, MNRI, DMI Level A, SOS feeding, Beckman Oral Motor, Optics Tracker oculomotor training software, and Handwriting Without Tears.
