Occupational Therapy

What is OT?

A child’s occupation is to play and learn. Some children can have difficulties with play and learning, possibly because of conditions they have been born with, perhaps an injury, changes in their life, or simply differences in their learning style and needs.

 If a child’s play and ability to learn is affected then their independence, health and how they feel about themselves will be impacted. An Occupational Therapist can help them to live more independently and improve their capacity to play and learn.

 Innova OT provides care for infants, babies, children and adolescents.

Our role is to evaluate a child’s developmental abilities and skills for activities, school performance, and everyday living tasks.

As well as assisting a child’s physical performance, an occupational therapist can address social - emotional, psychological, sensory processing, cognitive, and environmental factors involved with the child's performance.​

Occupational Therapists work with children and their families, to help enhance skills necessary for their everyday life including playing, getting dressed and handwriting. Occupational therapy may also include making changes to the child’s environment such as their routine, or how they do tasks at school or home to help the child be more independent.
