Empowering Kids Through Pediatric Occupational Therapy
Every child deserves the opportunity to thrive. Pediatric occupational therapy (OT) helps children develop the skills they need to succeed in school, play, and daily life. At Imperial Physical Therapy P.C., we specialize in creating fun, engaging therapy plans tailored to each child’s unique needs.
What Pediatric OT Addresses
Fine Motor Skills: Activities like handwriting, cutting with scissors, and buttoning clothing.
Sensory Processing Issues: Helping children who are over- or under-sensitive to sensory input.
Social and Play Skills: Encouraging interaction and teamwork with peers.
Therapy in Action
Our therapists use creative activities, such as obstacle courses, art projects, and sensory play, to help children build confidence and skills in a supportive environment.
When to Seek OT
Signs your child may benefit from OT include:
Delayed milestones (e.g., crawling, walking).
Difficulty with self-care tasks like dressing or eating.
Struggles with focus or interaction in school.
