What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational Therapy aids in the development of skills that support engagement in everyday life activities that support health, well-being, and quality of life of people. Occupational Therapists (OTs) use a variety of therapy techniques that develop the individual’s fine motor skills, visual-perceptual readiness, cognitive abilities, and attention span. These services could be needed if a child is suffering from cases including but not limited to birth defects, developmental delays, learning problems, and broken bones.
Proactive Health Corp Pediatric Occupational Therapy
Proactive specializes in pediatric occupational therapy services that focus on enabling infants and children to do the activities of daily life. In pediatric occupational therapy sessions, the licensed OTs work with children and their families to promote active participation in occupations that are meaningful to them such as activities that enable them to learn and develop life skills, be creative and/or derive enjoyment and thrive. Techniques that improve the child’s overall development include:
- Everyday Activity Training (brushing teeth, feeding, dressing etc.)
- Coordination Therapy
- Cognitive Development
Proactive’ s licensed OTs use their passion for helping children to examine, evaluate and develop an individualized program to address their difficulties with performance of daily activities in the areas of feeding/eating, self-care, play, learning and development. Our OTs work with the children and their families to dramatically improve all their fine motor skills and overall occupational performance.
