What is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational Therapy works with children and youth to access and be successful in the learning environment. Skills addressed may include fine motor control skills, handwriting skills, visual motor skills, organizational and sensory processing skills. Occupational Therapy professionals work closely with teachers and other people involved in the student's academic program in order to ensure carryover of skills.
