What We Do

What Is Pediatric Occupational Therapy?

Occupational Therapists (OTs) help children improve fine motor skills, sensory motor skills, and visual motor skills they need to perform for self-care and socialization.

Fine motor skills involve the small muscle groups in our bodies, such as those in our hands and fingers. These skills typically require coordination between our muscles and our eyes to perform activities such as writing and tying shoelaces. Sensory motor skills involve translating input from our senses into moving our bodies accordingly in response. And visual motor skills include eye-hand coordination, motor control, and visual perception, among others.

Occupational therapy can help with many self-care and other tasks, including:

Grooming and bathing (brushing teeth and hair)
Getting dressed (fastening buttons & zippers; tying shoes)
Feeding (using utensils, drinking from a cup or glass)
Using crayons, pencils, scissors, etc.

Drawing shapes and writing
Learning to play with new toys and doing so appropriately (stacking blocks, completing puzzles)
Learning new activities and routines

What Our Pediatric Occupational Therapy Angels Do

Many of the treatments OTs use will feel like games and play for your child. In addition to helping using their techniques to help your child attain measurable performance goals, our OT Angels can recommend and train you and your child to use adaptive equipment to assist your child in performing tasks. Our OT Angels team also works collaboratively with you and your child, and your child’s other healthcare providers, and their school. Our OTs are dedicated to helping your child live life as fully and independently as possible.
