What Is Pediatric Occupational Therapy?
Pediatric occupational therapy focuses on helping children develop the motor, sensory, and cognitive skills needed for everyday tasks. OT promotes independence and success at home, in school, and in the community. Therapy is goal-oriented, child-centered, and designed to support both fine motor development and emotional regulation.
