Occupational Therapy
Enhancing Daily Living Skills Through Occupational TherapyWhat is it?
Occupational Therapy (OT) is a specialized intervention designed to help children with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, and other disabilities develop essential motor, cognitive, and self-care skills. It focuses on improving coordination, sensory processing, and daily living activities to help children achieve greater independence.
Why is it Important?
Children with special needs often struggle with fine motor skills, balance, and everyday tasks like dressing, eating, and writing. Occupational therapy provides structured exercises and adaptive techniques to improve their physical, emotional, and social well-being, enabling them to participate more fully in school and daily life.
