OT addresses fine motor skills, sensory processing, coordination, and independence.
Occupational therapy at our center is available as a supportive service for children who are enrolled in our ABA program. Our program primarily serves children ages 2–12, with exceptions considered depending on individual needs. Signs your child may benefit from OT include difficulty with fine motor tasks, sensory sensitivities, or challenges with self-care and daily routines.
