Why do we do it?
Occupational therapy in children helps them to thrive in their home and school environments by providing a holistic approach to enhancing their independence and self-esteem in everyday activities. OT focuses on maximizing a child’s function in their occupations through skill development, task and/or environmental modifications and use of adapted tools to best support them in engaging in their daily lives.
