NAPA provides pediatric occupational therapy for children of all ages to help them achieve their full potential. Our experienced and dedicated occupational therapists take a developmental approach to address areas of physical ability (fine and gross motor skills), sensory processing and modulation, handwriting skills, visual motor skills, and self-help skills.
An occupational therapist’s role is to assist children in performing “occupations” with the greatest level of independence possible. Childhood occupations include learning in school, playing with friends, and learning self-care tasks that support independence.
We use a wide range of therapeutic equipment and techniques to best help your child achieve their goals. Parents are also encouraged to participate, as they are an integral part of the child’s treatment.
What this means for your child
OT helps your child build independence in the things that fill their day, from learning at school and playing with friends to self-care tasks like brushing their hair or teeth.
Occupational therapy can benefit children with a wide variety of diagnoses, including but not limited to:
Understanding the sensory system and learning sensory strategies to promote participation.
Engaging in play activities.
Learning to move through and interact with the world around them.
Removing barriers to learning to help the child become more focused.
Practicing appropriate social interactions and communication.
Establishing autonomy and accomplishment in daily activities, such as brushing hair or teeth.
Your child is one of a kind, and their therapy should be too! At NAPA Center, we create individualized therapy sessions designed around your child’s specific abilities, needs, and goals.
We offer traditional weekly occupational therapy for children at our multiple clinic locations throughout the US, Australia, and the UK. In addition to weekly occupational therapy for kids, NAPA also offers intensive therapy sessions at our clinics using the Intensive Model of Therapy (IMOT). If you think your child or loved one may benefit from pediatric OT at NAPA, please contact our team to begin the journey to creating an individualized therapy solution!
