Understanding ‘Occupational Therapy’
Occupational therapy focuses on children’s engagement in daily activities. Therapists aid in learning and development, catering to kids with or without disabilities. They address various life activities like play, socializing, self-care, school tasks, and family involvement. Achieving age-appropriate participation can be challenging for all children. Thus, occupational therapy aims to bridge this gap, ensuring children’s holistic development and inclusion.
Pediatric Occupational Therapy is crucial for parents in fostering age-appropriate skills to prevent developmental delays. Addressing delays promptly is essential, as unresolved issues may escalate over time, affecting the child’s overall development.

Pediatric OT: When?
If you're worried about your child's development, it's important to seek advice early. It's easier to address concerns in early childhood than later on. If your child struggles with gross or fine motor skills, handwriting, or sensory processing, they might benefit from seeing an occupational therapist. Immediate medical attention may be necessary if your child shows signs like difficulty sitting or holding objects, lack of imitation, or uneven strength or movement. If you notice any of these signs, consult a healthcare professional or schedule an appointment with one of our Occupational Therapists today at Building Blocks Pediatrics LLC today.
