How playSense Can Help
Occupational therapists help individuals return to daily activities after injury or disability, supporting your child and family in engaging fully. For children, this means play, growth, learning, and independence.
Through Individual or Group Occupational Therapy Sessions, We Can Help Your Child Build and Improve:
-
Perceiving and processing sensory information to support body awareness, coordination, and motor planning. Difficulties in sensory integration can affect handwriting, fine and gross motor skills, visual perception, and overall developmental progress, impacting participation in daily life activities.
-
Planning and organizing routines, time, and materials to enable focused and well-prepared participation in activities. This includes structuring transitions, reducing stress, and fostering smoother and more effective engagement in everyday tasks.
-
Initiating and maintaining play, finding suitable social activities, and developing positive interactions. This may involve selecting appropriate clothing, tailoring activities to personal interests, and overcoming challenges to ensure meaningful social connections.
-
Understanding and managing behaviors or emotions that may stem from sensory processing difficulties. These include challenges with sensory reactivity, self-regulation, and motor performance, which can mask underlying developmental needs.
-
Supporting independence in daily routines such as feeding, dressing, grooming, hygiene, sleep, and toilet training. This includes addressing challenges to ensure smoother transitions and greater confidence in personal care.
-
Improving coordination between visual input and motor output to enhance skills like handwriting, drawing, and playing catch. This supports precision in tasks and contributes to the development of both fine and gross motor abilities.
-
Developing independence in tasks such as tying shoes, fastening clothing, and dressing or undressing. These skills foster self-sufficiency and build confidence in managing personal responsibilities.
-
Enhancing the ability to coordinate both sides of the body for activities like bike riding, cutting with scissors, or tying knots. This is essential for fluid and efficient movement in complex tasks.
-
Building control and precision in using tools like scissors, pencils, utensils, and fasteners. These foundational skills are key for tasks requiring dexterity and small muscle coordination.
-
Practicing activities such as solving puzzles, replicating drawings, aligning numbers for math, and writing within lines. This includes refining letter spacing, sizing, and overall presentation to improve academic and daily performance.
