Pediatric OT
Pediatric Occupational Therapy helps children develop the skills they need to do the things that are important to them.
Childhood occupations include: playing, learning, following daily routines, and connecting with others.
Some children are limited by:
Developmental delay
Poor coordination
Difficulty with transitions
Frequent meltdowns
Inflexibility with new ideas
Challenging behaviors
Communication delays
Participation in occupational therapy at Creative Beginnings can support the following areas:
Completing self-care tasks independently and/or with greater ease (ex. dressing, toileting, grooming)
Wearing a variety of clothing
Participating in handwriting and other fine motor tasks
Moving through space with improved coordination and safety
Exploring and engaging in sensory-rich environments, such as a birthday party or playground
Playing independently and playing with peers
Paying attention and organizing themselves for home and school-based activities
Regulating emotions throughout transitions or daily routines
Building self-esteem and self-concept
