What Is Pediatric Occupational Therapy?
Pediatric Occupational Therapy helps children develop the skills they need to perform daily tasks with independence and confidence. For children, their “occupations” are playing and learning, as these activities are what occupy most of their time. Our skilled therapists use engaging, play-based and proven treatments to make therapy both fun and effective. We’ll work with your child to support their development so they can thrive at home, in school, and beyond!
