Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapists provide services to infants (0-3 years old), who have or are at risk for developmental delays, and to school age students (3-21 years old) who have motor or sensorimotor challenges that impact their participation in educational activities.  Occupational therapists collaborate with parents and school teams to provide strategies that maximize self-help, and fine motor function in the home (Early Access) and school settings.
