β¨ Pediatric Occupational Therapy Through PLAY! β¨
To a child, it may look like theyβre playing with puzzles, digging through a sensory bin, cutting and coloring, or building with toysβbut thereβs so much more happening behind the scenes! π
Pediatric Occupational Therapists use fun, purposeful activities to help children develop the skills they need to play, learn, participate in school, complete daily routines, and become more independent.
And the best part? Many of these skills can continue to be practiced at home using simple toys, games, crafts, and everyday activities! π
π§© Puzzles & Games: visual-motor integration (VMI), visual perception, problem-solving, attention & executive functioning
βοΈ Scissors & Crafts: fine motor skills, hand strength, bilateral coordination, motor planning & handwriting
π« Sensory Bins & Letter Activities: sensory processing, tactile tolerance, fine motor skills, visual scanning & letter formation
π Clock & Time Activities: sequencing, understanding time concepts, planning & daily living skills
π€ Building Toys: bilateral coordination, hand strength, dexterity, motor planning, VMI & spatial awareness
π² Games: turn-taking, self-regulation, flexibility, attention & social participation
Therapy doesnβt have to stop when the session ends! Your childβs OT can help you identify games, exercises, and activities that fit naturally into your routines at homeβturning everyday play into opportunities to practice important skills. π
Wondering if Occupational Therapy could benefit your child? Weβd love to help!
