Why might my child need OT (occupational therapy)?

Pediatric occupational therapy is a service focused to help children be able to complete daily activities in their lives aka their occupations. Well what are a child’s occupations?

• Playing

• Sleeping

• Getting Dressed

• Eating

• Going to the Bathroom

• Learning

• Socializing

OT's assess each activity that a child might be struggling with, break down the tasks, then work on skills to be able to complete the activities in a way that makes sense for the child.

Does your child have difficulties with any of the following?

• Bathing avoidance/poor hygiene

• Clumsiness

• Completing homework​

• Doing chores

• Following instructions

• Getting dressed or wearing clothes

• Keeping endurance during play

• Low frustration tolerance

• Poor attention

• Picky eating

• Sitting still

• Sleeping/falling asleep

• Toileting

• Understanding social skills

If so, they might benefit from skilled occupational therapy services.
