Our Occupational Therapists use their knowledge of children’s play, sensorimotor, cognitive, language and social-emotional development to identify the nature of the child’s difficulties and develop the best intervention plan. Occupational therapists can assist children to manage sensory sensitivities such as over reaction to noise, hypersensitivity to touch and behavioral issues such as distractibility and repetitive play behaviors. Fine motor coordination difficulties, organization and information processing are other areas that are addressed in treatment sessions.
OT’s can also help children overcome challenges they may have with self care activities such as Eating, Dressing and Toileting to assist them to be as independent as possible. Our Occupational Therapist will work collaboratively with your child, parents, other health professionals and teaching staff to ensure the best possible outcomes for your child.
