Occupational therapy is aimed at supporting the child’s participation in his/her occupations, mainly the ability to perform self-care tasks, engage in play and social skills and learning. Intervention addresses underlying deficits/issues impacting the child’s optimal functioning in these areas. For instance, a child with motor planning difficulties may struggle with learning to get dressed or engaging in a ball game with peers. A child who has challenges with his/her attention span will have difficulties learning in class. These children will benefit from Occupational Therapy.
