Our occupational therapists do not only help in improving the child’s basic motor functions and reasoning abilities but they will also help in compensating with permanent loss of function, making our patients have increased independence and quality of life. All of which are necessary for independent living in your child's future.
Their treatment plan consists of supporting clients in different activities, prescribing of physical exercises which help in increasing strength and dexterity and allows the enhancement of visual acuity as well as the increased ability to discern patterns. Our OT's are functionally based clinicians; Meaning our clients work on REAL life skills, rather than cookie cutter activities. Our interventions are backed by evidence based practices which we consider the GOLD standard for developmental therapy.

Handwriting issues
The early years of a child’s life are crucial in developing necessary physical, cognitive and social skills. Occupational therapy helps kids lead healthy lives, offering a wide range of benefits in the following areas:
Sensory processing issues: Children with sensory processing issues find it challenging to synthesize information using the basic five senses — taste, hearing, touch, smell and sight. These children may experience over-sensitivity, under-sensitivity or both in a variety of settings, including home or school. Sensory processing issues may cause children to get distracted easily or experience difficulty paying attention. Occupational Therapy develop or regain the skills to address these difficulties effectively.
General activities: Occupational therapy helps young children develop self-help skills such as toileting, dressing, brushing, drawing and writing.
Fine and gross motor skills: While fine motor skills involve using small muscles in the fingers and forearm, gross motor skills involve the movement of large muscles in the legs, arms and torso. Children can overcome difficulties walking, bicycling and performing other movements involving fine and gross motor skills with the help of an occupational therapist.
Kids with autism spectrum disorder (ASD): An occupational therapist will develop a personalized plan to help children develop awareness, coordination and communication skills.
