Occupational Therapy
Empowering Children Through Specialized Occupational Therapy
Occupational Therapy is a specialized form of healthcare focused on helping individuals develop, recover, or maintain the skills needed for daily living and working. In children, occupational therapy addresses challenges related to fine and gross motor skills, sensory processing, coordination, and self-care activities. It promotes independence by building the physical, cognitive, and emotional foundations children need to perform everyday tasks confidently and successfully.
At Tender Touch Therapy, our Pediatric Occupational Therapy program is thoughtfully designed to nurture every child’s unique abilities. Our experienced therapists create personalized treatment plans that focus on enhancing essential skills such as handwriting, feeding, play, social interaction, and classroom participation. By providing supportive, child-centered care, we empower children to achieve greater independence, thrive in their environments, and confidently navigate the demands of school and daily life.
