Abilities in Action – Occupational Therapy

Mom and boy smiling Occupational Therapy (OT) helps children and youth build skills for everyday life—so they can participate in the activities that matter to them. OTs look at the whole child (strengths, sensory needs, routines, and environments) and work with families to create practical strategies that fit real life.

Our OTs and OTAs can support children and youth who:

Find dressing or other self-care routines difficult
Have difficulties with noise, touch, movement, and busy spaces
Prefer routines or predictability
Need support with self-regulation and coping strategies
Have difficulty with handwriting, printing, cutting, or other school-tool tasks
Need support with play skills and daily activities
Experience challenges with eating (including getting used to food texture and being open to trying new foods).
