What is Pediatric Occupational Therapy?
Primary Therapy Source provides occupational therapy services for
children of all ages who experience difficulties in various areas of their
lives. The ability for children to participate and feel successful in
everyday activities at home, in
school, and in community settings can
significantly shape their world, their health and their overall satisfaction
with life.
Pediatric occupational therapists help children learn skills needed to be successful with the “occupations” of being a child including play, self-care activities, keeping daily routines and participating in the classroom.

*Sensory integration helps certain children focus their attention to tasks. Children learn to adapt how their brain understands the world around them through all the senses (touch, taste, smell, sight, sound, and movement). The therapist helps a child develop strategies to assist his/her nervous system to functionally process information it receives. This allows the child to make better sense of the surrounding world. The result is often decreased agitation, inattention, or what may appear as behavioral concerns.
