Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy practitioners (OTs) work with children, youth, and their families, caregivers, and teachers to promote active participation in activities or occupations that are meaningful. OT distinctly focuses on participation by using a holistic approach, inclusion in natural environments, and adaptation. With expertise in both mental and physical health, OT can help a child and family achieve meaningful goals by:
- Supporting participation and independence in Activities of Daily Living including play and leisure skills
- Enhancing growth and development
- Strengthening child–family bonds
- Increasing family engagement and inclusive environments
- Improving academic skills
