Occupational Therapists help children to be successful
in the occupations of their daily lives, both at home
and at school. OTs typically address problems with clumsiness
and frustration with motor activities such a playing
sports or learning to write, following instructions,
paying attention, organizing work, adjusting to changes
in routine or new situations, over-reaction to touch
or sounds, and difficulty making and keeping friends.
Specific Questions:
- How do you diagnose or determine that occupational
therapy will be helpful for my child?
- What percentage of your patients is referred to
you because of school-related learning problems?
- How can occupational therapy help my child develop
appropriate social skills?
- What is sensory integration, and how does it affect
learning?
- How is occupational therapy different from physical
therapy?
- Will therapy be individual or group?
- Will you work with my child in our home?
- What kinds of follow-up exercises/training might
we be expected to help with at home?
