Supporting Child Development Through Occupational Therapy
Children develop at different rates, and some may face challenges that impact their ability to perform daily activities, interact with others, or succeed in school. Pediatric occupational therapy helps children build essential life skills, improve coordination, and foster independence in a supportive and engaging environment.
