Pediatric Occupational Therapy in Katy, TX
Helping Kids Build Independence and Confidence
When everyday tasks feel challenging for a child, it can affect learning, behavior, and confidence. Pediatric occupational therapy helps children develop the skills they need to participate more fully in daily activities at home, at school, and in their community.
At the Davies Institute for Speech & Hearing, our occupational therapists work closely with families to understand each child’s strengths and challenges and create an individualized plan that supports meaningful, real-world progress.
What Is Pediatric Occupational Therapy?
Pediatric occupational therapy focuses on helping children build the skills needed for everyday activities, or “occupations,” such as playing, learning, self-care, and interacting with others. These skills support a child’s ability to function independently and confidently in their daily routines.
Occupational therapy can address challenges with fine motor skills, sensory processing, coordination, feeding, attention, emotional regulation, or daily self-care tasks. Our occupational therapists are also certified to treat torticollis in infants and young children.
