Occupational Therapy supports children as they naturally explore and engage with the world around them. For little ones, daily 'occupations' include the meaningful activities of childhood, such as:

• Breastfeeding/Chestfeeding

• Solid Food Introduction

• Mealtimes

• Sleeping

• Bathing

• Getting dressed

• Exploration and Play

• Socialization

• School participation

• Hobbies

These movements and behaviors are best nurtured and supported with a calm, centered nervous system and a brain that makes meaningful connections.
Here are some of the specific areas where OT can help children and families:

• Securely attach with primary caregivers

• Feed and nurse with shared ease

• Participate in caregiving routines

• Explore and play

• Develop and refine gross and fine motor skills

• Enhance eye-hand coordination

• Establish healthy eating habits and mealtime routines

• Develop self-advocacy skills to communicate their needs effectively

• Apply strategies for managing schedules and transitions smoothly
