What is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational therapy (OT) is the use of assessment and treatment to develop, recover, or maintain the daily living and work skills of people with a physical, mental, or cognitive disorder.

Occupational therapists are professionals who are able to assess a child’s skills for playing and learning, school performance, and daily activities and compare them with what is developmentally appropriate for that age group.

Occupational therapists working with children with special needs aim to improve their cognitive, physical, sensory & motor skills and enhance their self-esteem and sense of accomplishment by helping them to be as independent as possible in all areas of their lives.

Occupational therapists work with children with a variety of conditions, such as cerebral palsy, spina bifida, learning disabilities, mental and behavioural problems, burns, brain injuries, developmental delays, autism, and cancer. In therapy, occupational therapists work on a variety of skills, depending on the area of needs.
