Occupational Therapy at Recess Therapy uses exercises, activities, strategies, and accommodations to help children develop the skills they need for greater independence. Early intervention is key, as the sooner a child starts OT, the more effective it tends to be. Occupational therapy can help children improve concentration, complete schoolwork successfully, and gain self-confidence by mastering tasks independently.

Does Your Child Need Occupational Therapy?

Consider OT if your child has difficulties with:

• Self-Care or Activities of Daily Living: Challenges with brushing teeth, buttoning clothes, or using eating utensils.

• Hand-Eye Coordination: Struggles with writing on a classroom whiteboard or copying notes from the board.

• Fine Motor Skills: Difficulty grasping and controlling a pencil or using scissors.

• Gross Motor Skills: Trouble performing jumping jacks or maintaining core muscle strength for proper sitting posture.

• Motor Planning and Organization: Issues with planning and executing movements.

• Sensory Processing: Over- or under-reacting to sensory input, making sensory experiences uncomfortable.
