Occupational therapy addresses skills necessary to participate in critical childhood occupations and activities of daily living, which include dressing, hygiene, feeding, and engagement in routine tasks. The interventions utilized to achieve increased independence with activities of daily living include developing fine motor skills, oral motor skills and sensory regulation skills. Occupational therapy services can also assist in developing age-appropriate play skills. Therapy services are provided utilizing a holistic, total body approach, meaning looking at the whole child and their skills as well as their areas of need. Techniques are based on the latest research and evidence-based intervention approaches. Parents are an integral part of the team and help to achieve therapy goals by incorporating therapy techniques at home, with guidance from the therapy team.
