Occupational Therapy
Occupational Therapy is performed on children to increase their participation in occupations or activities that are important and meaningful to them. It supports the development, health, and well-being of children. This can include school activities, playing, or self-care. Based on the impact of disability and typical development, interventions are recommended. At the Rainbow Children’s Hospitals, we have specialists that can help in optimizing the child’s participation in everyday activities.
Through occupational therapy, children can develop the skills required or participating in occupations like play, self-care, and social skills. With this, children can improve their coordination, hand skills, visual and cognitive-perceptual skills, peer interaction, handwriting, etc. This helps in treating the conditions like:
- Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
- Autism Spectrum Disorders
- Cerebral Palsy
- Developmental coordination disorder
- Developmental delay
- Sensory integration dysfunction
- Evaluation and training in self-care
- Evaluation and training in movement
- Social participation
- Educating patients and caregivers
- Assessment and intervention regarding bedside feeding
- Test and treatment of developmental issues
