Occupational Therapy @ Make Way for Me!

When a child’s development is delayed due to a disability, an occupatinoal therapist can evaluate a child’s skills in daily activities, school performance, and self care activities and compare them to what is developmentally appropriate for his-her age group. Treatment is focused on improving a child’s skill level to meet those of his-her peers. Treatment for youth and adults focus on increasing participation and skill in the occupations that are important to them, such as school, work, leisure, or self-care. The aim of treatment is to improve quality of life, regardless of age or ability.
