Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapists plan and implement relevant sensory-motor intervention strategies and developmentally appropriate activities to create an environment or structure that regulates your child's sensory system through your child's primary "occupation", that of play. Occupational Therapists at MPTC use a variety of therapeutic approaches to address a child's functional needs; OT services are provided on a continuum to meet a child's changing needs. OTs have extensive training in determining challenging therapeutic activities which address holistic development and function of the child in his/her home, school and community.

• Attention Skills
