Our Pediatric Occupational Therapists can identify and treat difficulties that interfere with a child's ability to perform functional daily living skills, academic skills, and peer activities. The evaluation consists of a parent interview, standardized testing, informal assessment, and play-based interaction to determine the child's current fine motor, visual perceptual, and sensory-motor abilities. Treatment sessions are individualized and focused on improving fine motor skills, handwriting, body awareness, attention/focus, arousal level, sensory processing, and self-help. Home exercise programs are also provided to promote carryover of skills.
