Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy is a discipline that aims to promote health by enabling people to perform meaningful

and purposeful activities. Occupational therapists work with individuals who suffer from a mentally, physically,

developmentally, and/or emotionally disabling condition by utilizing treatments that develop, recover, or maintain

clients’ activities of daily living. The therapist helps clients not only to improve their basic motor functions and reasoning

abilities, but also to compensate for permanent loss of function. The goal of occupational therapy is to help clients have

independent, productive, and satisfying lives. In a desire to provide effective therapy to children with specific needs,

our Occupational Therapy space is designed to incorporate a sensory gym with suspended equipment, a trampoline,

therapy balls, weighted balls, a climbing wall and crash pads. A lending library is in place which includes weighted

blankets, weighted vests, weighted lap pads and therapeutic head phones and a series of listening CD’s. Space is

also set aside for developing fine motor and visual perceptual motor skills and manipulative skills
