What is Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy focuses on the underlying components of development, promoting improvement in sensory processing, gross motor, fine motor, and functional skills. Sensory integration improves the child’s ability to interpret and organize information from the senses, and remedies many of the eating, sleeping and dressing difficulties, as well as handwriting, behavior, and physical problems associated with sensory integration dysfunction.
