What activities are used in occupational therapy for children?

Occupational therapy incorporates engaging, play-based activities tailored to a child's developmental needs. These may include exercises to improve fine motor skills, such as threading beads or cutting with scissors, sensory activities like textured play, and gross motor tasks like balance exercises. Therapists also use strategies for handwriting, social engagement, and daily routines to help children gain confidence in their abilities.
Can occupational therapy help with school readiness?

Yes, occupational therapy can support school readiness by developing skills such as handwriting, attention span, following instructions, and self-care tasks like using the toilet independently or opening lunchboxes. Therapy also helps children with sensory regulation, which is important for staying focused in a classroom setting. By working on these foundational skills, occupational therapy assists in making the transition to school smoother.
