Occupational Therapy
A pediatric occupational therapist helps children develop the skills they need to perform daily activities and be successful in their home, school, and social environments. These skills can range from fine motor tasks, like holding a pencil or using scissors, to more complex tasks, like organizing their belongings, focusing on tasks, or interacting with their peers.
Here are some key areas where a pediatric occupational therapist can support children:
Executive Functioning
Improving cognitive abilities that help your child plan, stay organized, manage time, control emotions, and follow through with tasks in everyday activities like schoolwork or chores
Emotional Regulation
Providing support through sensory integration, coping strategies, social-emotional skill building, and individualized tools to manage emotions.
Fine Motor Skills
Improving hand-eye coordination and dexterity for tasks like writing, cutting, buttoning clothes, and more.
Gross Motor Skills
Enhancing balance, coordination, and body awareness for activities like running, jumping, and climbing.
Sensory Processing
Helping children who may be overly sensitive or under-sensitive to sounds, textures, lights, and movement.
Self-Care
Teaching children how to independently complete daily tasks like dressing, feeding, or using the bathroom.
Social Skills
Supporting children in learning how to interact with others, manage emotions, and participate in group activities.
Ms. Laura aims at providing the highest quality of service when working directly with children and families. While many other therapists prefer not to be contacted outside of business hours, Ms. Laura is available to answer questions that may come up throughout the week. She often refers to herself as a “pocket OT”, readily available for questions.
