> OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY
What is Occupational Therapy? How do we explain it to kids and families?
Basically, Occupational Therapy helps your child to DO the things they need and want to do. Children need to play, learn and develop self care skills (toileting, brushing teeth and hair etc).
Occupational Therapists will work with everyone in your child's team to help get some great outcomes for your child!
Information on Occupational Therapy is listed below.
