Does My Child Need Occupational Therapy?

Occupational therapist (OTs) can cover a lot of things for kids, but essentially, they help children learn skills needed for everyday life. This can include fine motor skills like writing or getting dressed, sensory strategies when they feel overwhelmed, or adapting their environment to give them better access, like through assistive technology. The “occupation” part of the name basically refers to whatever activities define the child, such as school responsibilities, play, or artistic expression.
