Pediatric occupational therapists can help children with a range of developmental and physical disabilities due to things like Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, and other birth- or illness-related conditions. OT can help improve a child’s upper body function, fine motor skills, visual-motor function and sensory processing skills. And it can help a child develop the skills needed for everyday activities or tasks, such as feeding, eating, dressing or toileting. Ongoing support throughout childhood can help with more complex tasks, such as cooking, shopping or using a phone. Talk to your child’s doctor if you think OT would be a good choice for your child.
