Occupational Therapy For Children
              
              
              
                The goal of Occupational Therapy is to foster appropriate
                responses to sensation in an active, meaningful, and fun way so
                the child is able to behave in a more functional manner. Over
                time, the appropriate responses generalize to the environment
                beyond the clinic including home, school, and the larger
                community. Effective occupational therapy thus enables patients
                to participate in an active life.
              
              
              
                Sensory Integration
              
              
                Sensory integration is a specialty area of occupational therapy
                that is based on over 40 years of theory and research. The term
                "sensory integration" refers to the way the brain organizes
                sensations for engagement in activities. Sensory Integration may
                vary depending on the needs of your child and the type of
                sensory input he/she needs. Our Occupational Therapists will
                work with your child to both challenge him/her and enable
                his/her success. In these sessions, the therapists will advise
                on how to practice sensory integration in your home.
              
              
                Cognitive Rehabilitation
              
              
                Cognitive Rehabilitation is a program of guided therapy to learn
                or re-learn ways to concentrate, memorize, solve problems, and
                develop visual-spatial relations learn functional skills such as
                feeding and dressing (sequencing). It is a structured set of
                therapeutic activities designed to train a child's ability to
                use age- appropriate cognitive skills to think, interact and
                make decisions. Children with cognitive developmental delays
                including ADHD, Autism, and learning disabilities. Children with
                brain injuries such as congenital brain deformities, pediatric
                stroke, and traumatic or acquired-brain injuries may benefit
                from this therapy.
