Occupational Therapy

Our Occupational Therapy team provides assessment  and treatment services for infants and children who have difficulty performing every day activities.

The team provides a therapeutic program tailored to your child’s individual nee. Occupational Therapy focuses on:

*Fine Motor/Visual Motor Integration Skills

  • Grasping
  • Writing
  • Cutting
  • Daily Skills such as using utensils, dressing (buttons, zippers, shoe tying). 
  • Play Activities
*Pre-writing and Handwriting
*Visual perception - is the ability to interpret the surrounding environment using light in the visible spectrum reflected by the objects in the environment.
*Bilateral coordination - refers to the ability to coordinate both sides of the body at the same time in a controlled and organized manner; such as holding paper while cutting with scissors or lacing beads require the right and left sides of the body to work together.
*Sensory Integration - is the process that organizes sensation from one's own body and the environment, thus making it possible to use the body effectively within the environment. 
*Motor planning - It allows us to know, remember, and perform small steps that make a particular movement or task happen.
*Strength and endurance
*Life skills
