Understanding the child as an individual, how they move, how they feel and how they perceive the world through their senses can affect their performance in every day activities. These are the children’s “occupations”. “Occupations” can be anything from helping your baby interact with you, to helping your child follow directions and complete work in school to navigating and interacting with friends on the playground.

What is Occupational Therapy  for Children?

A comprehensive developmental intervention through which children develop foundation skills for all interactions. Play is used to foster the child’s shared attention, engagement, reciprocal communication, problem-solving, and reasoning. It relies on an understanding of processing challenges, affect, learning, socialization, communication and behavior and teaches parents/caregivers to understand their child’s “individual differences” and how to help children learn for more complex interactions, and higher level emotional thinking

What is Sensory Processing/Sensory Integration?

Sensory Integration is the process by which we receive information through our senses, organize this information and use it to participate in every day activities. Sensory Integration contributes to emotional regulation, learning behavior, and participation in daily life.
