Frequently Asked Questions

  • Pediatric OT helps children build the skills they need for everyday life — things like playing, learning, regulating emotions, participating at school, and becoming more independent in the things they want to do, need to do, and love to do. Therapy is play-based, evidence-informed, and tailored to your child’s unique interests.
