Pediatric occupational therapy helps children perform everyday activities to the best of their ability and with greater independence. Occupational therapists strengthen children’s visual motor and fine motor skills to assist them in completing activities of daily living with independence. For some children, this may be improving their handwriting in order to be successful at school or for others this may be learning the skills needed to tie their shoes. 

Occupational Therapy can help with the following needs or diagnosis:

• Autism
• Attention Deficits
