How Occuaptional Therapy Works

Parents are often surprised to find a therapeutic gym look like a playground, and wonder how it will improve their child's development.

 

 

Hanging from swings, jumping of trampolines, crashing in ball pits, riding on scooters looks like fun,not therapy and that's just the way we want it! We want your children to love their therapy sessions so they will maximize their potential and put forth all their effort.

 

While the equipment is motivating for kids it is also challenging for them and requires them to develop their areas of weakness. While the child is swinging, crashing, jumping, and climbing the therapist is carefully orchestrating the activity being sure to improve:

  • Strength

  • Balance

  • Visual Motor Integration

  • Visual Processing

  • Sensory Integration

  • Self Regulation

  • Fine Motor skills

  • Gross Motor skills

  • Social/emotional development

  • imagination

  • creativity

  • attention/focus

  • executive function

  • problem solving
