Therapy sessions are usually 30-60 minutes in length. They focus on your child’s impairments and use creative, play-based therapy to address muscle strengthening, muscle stretching, therapeutic activities, gait training, aquatic therapy, balance activities, weight bearing, and equipment trials and recommendations.

Occupational therapy focuses on helping individuals across the lifespan to do things they want and need to do throughout their day through the therapeutic use of daily activities. Furthermore, occupational therapy treats the whole person. As occupational therapists we look at the individual’s participation in activities, such as play, activities of daily living (dressing, feeding, toileting, hygiene, grooming, etc.), instrumental activities of daily living (care of pets, meal preparation, safety, shopping, etc.), education, leisure, and social interactions with family, peers, and the community that are being impacted. Overall, occupational therapists are helping individuals fully engage in their daily lives. Nevertheless, both occupational therapy and physical therapy play a very important role in healthcare.
