Occupational Therapy (OT) is often defined as a profession that assists individuals in the occupation of living. The term ‘occupation’ has various meanings depending on to whom it is being applied. The goal of OT is to maximize and enable an individual’s potential.
In the case of Barrett Family Wellness Center, we use a sensory motor approach to pediatric OT. One-on-one OT sessions are tailored to meet each child’s individual needs providing help to children with such things as:
- Equilibrium, strength and balancing through the use of suspension equipment and heavy work
- Handwriting – addressing hand strength and finger isolation in our designated fine motor space
- Sensory Integration
- Modulating emotions and moods appropriate to daily life situations using individually designed strategies
