Questions and answers
What is pediatric occupational therapy?
Occupational therapy supports the "occupations" of childhood — playing, learning, dressing, eating, making friends, being part of a family. A pediatric OT looks at the skills underneath those everyday activities (like sensory regulation, attention, coordination, and routines) and builds them through play. Read the full plain-language explanation on the occupational therapy page.
