Occupational Therapy

Enabling a person to engage in daily activities or vocations is the goal of occupational therapy. Children spend their time learning and playing. Children with developmental delays or disorders may not have the social, motor, perceptual, cognitive, or sensory skills necessary to participate fully in daily activities. These children can benefit from occupational therapy treatments.

Areas Addresses:

Motor Disorders

Gross motor disorders: Disorders involving the major muscles that are used for walking, jumping, kicking, balancing.

Fine motor disorders: Problems using the body’s small muscles, particularly the hands.

Oral motor disorders: Oral motor difficulties, poor oral motor control, excessive mouthing and drooling, picky eater, difficulty in chewing, swallowing and sucking liquid intake

Perceptual motor disorders: Disorders affecting the integration of visual or auditory information with movement.

Sensory Integration Disorders

Sensory integration disorders: Problems with the brain’s ability to properly interpret stimuli.

Hyper responsive sensory disorders: Sensory abnormalities that cause an excessive amount of overreaction to sensory information.

How Therapy Functions

The child is first evaluated by the occupational therapist to identify their strengths and weaknesses. When therapy is necessary, the occupational therapist offers a program tailored to the needs of the child, treating deficits with exercises and activities that improve hand and motor development, play skills, executive functioning skills, cognitive abilities, and spatial awareness by using evidence base practice. Aspects of the kid’s sensory processing are also addressed through activities that give the kid the right sensory input within and outside of our clinic.

The main focus of Speech Lingua Spot is the diagnosis and care of kids with neurodevelopmental disorders
