Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy is designed to help children with developmental delays and/or fine motor coordination. This therapy can help children improve their cognitive, physical, sensory, and motor skills as well as with play and general communication skills. 


Occupational therapy is designed to help children with every-day basic skills, such as feeding, bathing, writing, etc. Our therapists emphasize the importance of independence in our children so that they are properly developed and ready for school age programs.
