Pediatric Occupational Therapy

What Is Occupational Therapy?

Helping Children Participate in

Everyday Life

Occupational therapy, or OT, helps children develop the skills they need to participate in the activities that are important to them — at home, at school, and in everyday life.

Understanding OT

Everyday Activities Matter

For children, an "occupation" simply means the everyday activities that fill their lives. These meaningful moments are the foundation for growth and independence.

Playing

Learning

Getting Dressed

Eating

Writing

Participating in School

Following Routines

Interacting With Others

Becoming More Independent

How OT Helps

Building Skills for Everyday Life

Pediatric occupational therapy can support the development of skills that children use throughout their day.

Physical & Motor Skills

Supporting strength, coordination, movement, and the ability to complete everyday activities.

Sensory Skills

Helping children understand and respond to sensory information in their environment.

Visual-Motor Skills

Supporting the ability to coordinate what children see with how they move.

Cognitive Skills

Supporting skills involved in attention, problem-solving, routines, and participation.

Functional Skills

Helping children develop practical skills for greater independence in everyday life.

The goal is to help children build skills they can use

in everyday life.
