Occupational Therapy is offered to assist children, adults, parents, and caregivers with encouraging independence in everyday skills.

 

The main occupations of a child are play, school, and learning daily living skills.  A pediatric occupational therapy session may include learning life skills, creating and maintaining relationships with others, sensory integration, learning coping strategies, adapting to their environment, and much more. We work with those who have developmental delays, sensory and processing deficits, behavioral/ regulation difficulties, and/or visual perceptual/motor problems.  We have specialized training for those children who need help with handwriting skills.  The SpOT Clinic has a sensory gym to assist in regulating sensory and processing deficits.

​

Services are also provided to adults after traumatic and non-traumatic brain injuries, head and neck cancer, strokes, Parkinson's Disease, etc. to improve the patient's ability to perform activities of daily living.  Activities of daily living include bathing, grooming/hygiene, dressing, eating and food preparation, functional mobility/safety, and problem solving.  The SpOT Clinic in Owen's Crossroads has an ADL Suite to learn activities of daily living and a kitchen for clients to plan and prepare food as a part of their treatment.
