Motor skills
Deficits in motor skills may follow developmental delay or injury. These delays can affect a child’s ability to self-feed, sit up, reach, hold a crayon or pencil, get dressed, and join playground or classroom activities. Occupational therapists build strength, coordination, and motor planning through play-based, goal-directed work.
Handwriting and fine motor skills
Fine motor work addresses grasp, hand strength, visual-motor integration, and the underlying posture that makes writing, cutting, buttoning, and utensil use possible. Treatment is individualized so skills carry over to the classroom and home.
Sensory integration
Many children we see have difficulty processing sensation. Occupational therapists help them register, modulate, and respond to sensory input so daily routines — dressing, mealtime, playground, classroom — feel more manageable.
