Children learn to work beyond previous limitations, taking risks with challenging opportunities in the classroom, home, and eventually work force. This in effect bridges the gaps between strengths and weaknesses. Please discuss any concerns you have with your child's classroom, or lead teacher. If you have noticed areas of difficulties indicated on this list, a comprehensive OT evaluation may be appropriate. Children who have difficulties in the above mentioned areas and received OT services have made noted improvements that directly impact their level of achievement in academics, literacy, and job readiness.
Some children are able to sign in a more clear, concise, fluid manner.
Some can walk in a busy environment with increased safety, balance, environmental awareness, and tolerance to stimuli. Others learn to dress and feed themselves independently.
