Garland & Murphy Area Occupational Therapists as Early Childhood Specialists

Pediatric Occupational therapists are considered early childhood specialists in their area of expertise.  Occupational therapists who work in the field of early childhood help children develop purposeful activities (occupations).   Feeding, play, interaction, and movement activities are examples of occupations for children.  For young children with developmental challenges in these areas, it is important to have a thorough evaluation by an experienced pediatric occupational therapist so the best treatment plan is developed based on the unique needs of the child.  Pediatric occupational therapists have experience in sensory integration and neuromotor analysis, making them ideal early childhood specialists to aid in developing foundational skills that will support a repertoire of future life skills.  For more information about early intervention and occupational therapy in the Garland & Murphy area, visit www.speechandot.com.
