Occupational Therapy for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Children with autism often encounter difficulties with sensory processing, fine motor skills, and daily activities. Our occupational therapists focus on developing personalized strategies to enhance sensory integration, improve motor coordination, and boost functional independence. Through play-based therapy and sensory techniques, we help children with autism overcome challenges in daily life, allowing them to engage more effectively in activities at home and school.
ADHD and Occupational Therapy
For children with ADHD, our occupational therapy services are designed to help improve focus, impulse control, and executive functioning skills. We use engaging and structured activities to improve fine motor skills, organization, and time management, helping children excel in both academic and social settings. Our therapists work closely with families to implement practical strategies that support the child’s success in daily routines.
Balance and Gait Support through Occupational Therapy
Children with balance and gait difficulties may struggle with coordination and body awareness. Our occupational therapists use a combination of strengthening exercises and motor coordination activities to help children improve their body control and movement patterns. These interventions are designed to build the skills necessary for safe navigation and participation in everyday tasks and play.
Muscle Weakness and Occupational Therapy
Muscle weakness can significantly impact a child's ability to perform everyday tasks, such as dressing, writing, or playing. Our occupational therapy programs focus on enhancing fine and gross motor skills, helping children develop the strength and coordination needed to increase their independence. By incorporating fun, purposeful activities into therapy sessions, we ensure that children remain motivated while building their physical abilities.
Dyspraxia (Developmental Coordination Disorder) Therapy
Dyspraxia, or developmental coordination disorder, can affect a child's ability to plan and execute movements. Our occupational therapists work with children to improve motor planning, hand-eye coordination, and fine motor skills. Using targeted, play-based interventions, we help children with dyspraxia develop better control over their movements, enabling them to engage more confidently in school, sports, and daily activities.
