BUILDING SKILLS FOR LIFE
What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational Therapists (also known as OT's) use their science background to improve hand skills, sensory processing, functional vision, emotional, behavioral and cognitive skills.
OT’s are trained to treat clients with physical, developmental and mental health diagnosis and challenges. OT's can work with your child or you to identify challenges in daily routines, set realistic goals and work towards a better tomorrow.
