Why does a Child Need Occupational Therapy
“Why does a child need occupational therapy? They don’t have jobs.”
In fact, children DO have jobs! They play, run, dance, make friends, and learn! These are their jobs and they use these jobs to grow into successful adults.
Each of these jobs require motor skills, visual perceptual skills, and the ability to process sensory information.
Signs a child may benefit from Occupational Therapy
Parents and/or teachers often recognize when a child is having difficulty performing one of their jobs:
- Slow to develop motor skills
- Difficulty with handwriting in school
- Seems unsteady or clumsy
- Easily overstimulated / over-reacts to sounds, textures, and touches
- Extreme meltdowns/upsets over what should be minor events
- Difficulty transitioning between tasks
- Picky eating habits
- Difficulty with social interactions
It is important to address these concerns as they come up. Developmental skills build on each other and early intervention is key!
