Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy (OT) in a Child Therapy Centre focuses on helping children develop the skills needed for daily activities, enhancing their independence and overall quality of life. Occupational therapists assess a child’s physical, cognitive, sensory, and emotional abilities to identify areas of difficulty. They work on improving fine motor skills, such as handwriting and using utensils, and gross motor skills, like balance and coordination. OT also addresses sensory processing issues, helping children manage sensitivities to sounds, textures, and other stimuli.

In addition, occupational therapists assist with self-care tasks, such as dressing and grooming, and teach strategies for better organization and time management. They often use play-based activities to engage children in therapy, making it enjoyable while targeting specific developmental goals. OT professionals collaborate with parents, teachers, and other healthcare providers to create a consistent support system for the child, both at home and in school. Their holistic approach helps children with physical, developmental, and behavioral challenges reach their full potential, enhancing their participation in everyday activities.
