Pediatric Occupational Therapy
What is Pediatric Occupational Therapy?
Pediatric occupational therapy (OT) helps children build the physical, cognitive, social, and emotional skills they need for everyday life.
From tying shoelaces to focusing in class, our therapists work with families to make daily tasks easier, more enjoyable, and achievable.
