Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy (OT) is a healthcare profession that focuses on helping individuals develop, recover, or maintain the skills necessary for daily living and working. The goal of OT is to enable children to participate in activities that are meaningful to them, whether it's self-care, school, leisure, or social activities.

How Does Occupational Therapy Work?
Occupational therapists assess a child’s needs through observation and collaboration with parents. Based on this assessment, they create a personalized treatment plan, which may include exercises, activities, adaptive tools, and techniques to improve functioning in specific areas of life.
Why Choose Occupational Therapy?
Personalized Care: OT is tailored to each child’s specific goals, needs, and challenges.
Holistic Approach: Occupational therapy considers the whole person—physical, emotional, and environmental factors—that contribute to their daily activities.
Improves Independence: OT empowers children to perform tasks more easily and effectively, boosting confidence and self-reliance.
Enhances Quality of Life: By addressing functional limitations, OT enables children to lead a more fulfilling and active life.
