Occupational Therapy for Daily Life Skills

Occupational therapy (OT) supports children in mastering everyday tasks such as handwriting, self-dressing, and paying attention in school. By focusing on fine motor coordination, sensory regulation, and problem-solving, OT helps children build confidence in daily routines.

Therapists use playful, hands-on techniques to make learning enjoyable. For example, games may strengthen hand muscles for writing, or obstacle courses may build balance and coordination. Children with ADHD, autism, or developmental delays benefit significantly from these structured yet fun interventions.

At Little Miracles Autism and Child Development Center, OT sessions are customized to each child, helping them achieve independence step by step.
