For children, "occupations" include playing with friends, enjoying school, completing daily routines such as eating, dressing, sleeping, and enjoying a typical family life. The goal of OT is to help children to accurately detect and interpret sensations, and to execute appropriate motor and behavioral responses so they are able to perform everyday "occupations" in a

functional manner.

What to expect:

During OT sessions the therapist and your child interact in a large room furnished with toys, balls, ropes, and swings, to encourage more appropriate motor responses in an active and meaningful way.  Therapy sessions are child-driven and fun, but subtly structured so that your child is challenged while always being successful.  During each session your occupational therapist serves as coach, educator, and role model so that you may participate actively and learn strategies for home, school, and the community.
