What is Occupational Therapy? What does a Pediatric Occupational Therapist help with?
Occupational therapists view “occupation” in the broadest meaning of the word, as a “purposeful activity”. As adults, besides paid work, we engage in a myriad of “occupations” everyday. Cooking, typing, making a bed, brushing our teeth, driving, reading a book—are all occupations. An infant’s occupations include rolling, sitting, crawling, and eating. Children’s occupations include play, social interactions, school participation, and self care activities.
