Occupational
therapists (OT) evaluate
and treat children with difficulties in fine motor, visual/perception
skills, sensory integration and activities of daily living. These
difficulties may present as
poor handwriting skills, problems attending to tasks, difficulty with
dressing or eating and intolerance to different
textures on their skin or during eating. OTs
provide direct
instruction to the child and home instructions to families to assist in
decreasing sensory
defensive behaviors (intolerance to touch, excessive
rocking or self-injury) and allow the child to more effectively
interact in their immediate environment.
