What is Occupational Therapy for Kids?
Occupational therapy (OT) for children is a specialized intervention aimed at enabling kids to participate fully in their daily activities or ``occupations.`` For children, these ``occupations`` often include play, learning, and self-care tasks. OTs work with children to enhance their physical, cognitive, sensory, and motor skills, ensuring they can function and thrive in their daily environments, from home to school.
