Q. How do I know if my child needs occupational therapy?
A. Children can benefit from clinic based O.T. when their functional daily living skills are delayed or not performing at their potential. Functional daily living skills can include dressing, eating, playing, etc. We can also address self-calming issues like getting to sleep at night, handling frustration, handling a change in the routine, wearing a variety of clothes, and eating a variety of foods. An O.T. evaluation can help determine if the problems are related to areas that O.T. can work on.
