Occupational Therapy
Pediatric occupational therapists are like developmental detectives and playtime experts who help children grow, learn, and thrive in their everyday activities. Whether it's getting dressed, holding a pencil, or staying calm in a busy environment, OTs support kids in building the skills they need to be confident and independent. Through fun, play-based activities, they turn challenges into opportunities for success. Their goal is to help every child reach their fullest potential at home and in the community!
