Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy at Heartwise Support is a comprehensive approach to addressing challenges related to fine motor skills, sensory processing, and activities of daily living. Our therapists work collaboratively with children and their families to develop customized treatment plans that target specific goals and support overall development.

What is Occupational Therapy?

Our occupational therapy services focus on enhancing coordination, motor skills, sensory processing, and everyday functions for children facing various challenges. Whether it’s fine motor skills, sensory integration, or self-care tasks, our specialists work closely with each child to address their unique needs and goals. We use a combination of therapeutic techniques, sensory integration strategies, and functional activities to promote skill development and independence.  Our goal is to help children develop the skills they need to participate fully in daily activities and achieve independence.

In a typical occupational therapy session, children engage in a variety of activities designed to improve their motor skills, sensory processing, and self-care abilities. Therapeutic exercises, sensory play, and adaptive equipment may be used to address specific areas of need. Our therapists provide guidance, encouragement, and support throughout the session to help children achieve their goals.
