Signs your child may benefit from OT
Every child develops at their own pace. If any of these sound familiar, an occupational therapy evaluation can help uncover what's getting in the way.
Seems clumsy
Trips often, bumps into things, or has trouble with balance.
Avoids sports
Shies away from playground games, ball skills, or riding a bike.
Struggles with handwriting
Messy or slow writing, tired hands, or an awkward pencil grip.
Strong reactions
Upset by noise, clothing textures, or busy, crowded places.
Tricky daily tasks
Buttons, zippers, utensils, or scissors feel frustrating.
Missed milestones
Reaching motor milestones later than other children.
Fine motor & handwriting
Little hands, big confidence
From pencil grip to buttons and scissors, we build the hand strength, control and visual skills that make schoolwork and self-care easier.
