What is Occupational Therapy?

​

Our children's lives are made up of daily activities or "occupations." Occupations are the things we all do to "occupy" our time. A few of these occupations may include playing, dressing, bathing, learning in school, and socializing with others.

 

Occupational Therapists partner with children and their families to help both to be functional and independent in these occupations that occur throughout the day, week, and/or year in multiple environments (i.e. home, school, etc.).
