Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy is designed to assist children in gaining the functional skills needed for independence in play, learning, motor skill development, self-care, and socialization in their home, school, and community. At TMC, our holistic approach not only focuses on the child but also on the family, ensuring carryover and transfer of skills to home and school environments.

Our interventions are rooted in evidence-based techniques that support skill development in meaningful ways. These may include sensory integration strategies, motor learning principles, cognitive-behavioral approaches, and task-oriented training to promote functional independence. We incorporate emotional regulation techniques to help children understand and manage their emotions effectively, fostering resilience and self-regulation in various settings. Therapy sessions often address muscle strengthening and range of motion, bilateral coordination, neuromuscular techniques, motor planning, sensory integration, visual perceptual skills, and visual-motor exercises. Skills may be directly practiced, such as tying shoes, brushing hair, or writing, often with adaptations or compensatory strategies to ensure success.
