How can I tell if my child needs occupational therapy?
If your child has difficulty with any of the following areas, occupational therapy may be required:
- Difficulty meeting developmental milestones at the appropriate age. (i.e., behaviors or skills that most children can perform at a given age)
- Fine motor skills issues (i.e., difficulty using fingers and hands)
- Difficulties with gross motor skills (i.e. lack of coordination)
- Sensory processing issues (i.e., listening and following directions, self-regulation, etc)
- Self-care abilities
- Skills in social and peer interaction
- Visual-motor coordination
