Title: Signs Your Students Might Benefit from Occupational Therapy
Authors: Shelly Sears, Sarah Zaas, Amanda Cortese, Rebecca Prosser
Occupational therapy is a healthcare field that assists with an individual’s occupation (daily tasks and activities), specific to their needs.
For children, occupational therapy will focus on play skills, self-help skills, engagement in educational activities, and exploration of the world around them.
When a child experiences challenges, he or she may demonstrate skill difficulties in various areas.
This also means that occupational therapy will look different for every child, as treatment depends on their unique behaviors and needs.
