                                 What is
            Occupational Therapy?

            Occupational Therapy (OT) is a health care
    profession that helps individuals with disabilities achieve
    their maximum level of independence in all areas of daily
    living, including work, play, self care and school.  
    Occupational therapists work in a variety of treatment
    settings including hospitals, nursing homes, outpatient
    clinics and schools, to name a few.  The information in this
    website is focused on OT services for preschool and
    school aged children.

            In the school setting, occupational therapists focus
    on the daily occupations of school life.  They work with
    students who have disabilities to achieve success in the
    classroom and across all school environments.  
    Specifically, therapists help students develop fine motor
    skills, visual motor (eye-hand coordination) skills, sensory
    regulation and physical access to help make learning and
    participation possible.
