What is Pediatric Occupational Therapy?
Pediatric Occupational Therapy's primary focus is to increase or maintain a child's skills with independence and confidence. "Occupations" for children include play and learning, as these activities take up most of their time on a daily basis. 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!
