The first three years of a child’s life are critical for development. This is when they develop communication, motor skills and cognition. The brain makes enormous developments during this period that lead to these skills. However, some children don’t develop these skills at the same rate or in the same way as their peers. Some young children take longer to develop, some develop these skills poorly, and some children have associated conditions that impact on these areas. Children need Occupational Therapy when don’t develop their ability to move well early in life. Occupational Therapy early on in life, can positively impact a child’s development.

Why do children need Occupational Therapy?

Children need support and help from an Occupational Therapist when they have motor development issues. They also need it when they have difficulty with everyday activities. This includes difficulties with balance, coordination, strength and endurance. It also includes challenges around drawing, using scissors and stringing beads. In fact, Occupational Therapy improves anything that challenges a child in their everyday life. Some children may present with a language delay.

What do Occupational Therapists work on?

With Occupational Therapy intervention, children can improve motor skills, cognitive skills, communication skills, social skills and limit the impact of a developmental delay.

The Occupational Therapist determines the intervention required based on the child’s delay, disability or condition. The Occupational Therapist assesses each child then makes intervention recommendations to improve movement and learning.
