Does my child need occupational therapy?
The most important activities for children are playing and learning. For some children, who lack certain skills, playing and learning can be challenging. If parents and teachers are unable to remediate these gaps, occupational therapy evaluation can help to identify the underlying barriers that interfere with a child’s development. Occupational therapy intervention can then help children learn the skills that they need to be successful at playing and learning.
