The focus of occupational therapy intervention directly reflects the child’s and family’s priorities.

Pediatric occupational therapy is a very personal service and to have a local provider is very important. Pediatric occupational therapists help children work towards engaging entirely in all aspects of their lives. These children misinterpret everyday sensory information, such as contact, movement and the noise. They can feel bombarded by the sensory world or seek out intense sensory experiences. This can then introduce difficulties with the motor coordination, social/emotional challenges, school difficulties, behavioral problems, poor self-esteem and other issues. Pediatric occupational therapists help children develop sensorimotor control, integration of sensory information and control of fine motor muscles so that the child can entirely take part in the job of the life. Treatments are conceived for children with developmental and the competence of play delays, writing difficulties, excessive salivation, or voluntary movement control problems.
