Fine and gross motor skills help children move, play, and do everyday tasks. Gross motor skills involve big movements like jumping or climbing, while fine motor skills involve small movements like using crayons or buttons. OT helps kids build these skills to thrive at home, school and play.
Social and play skills help children connect, communicate, and learn through interaction with others. In pediatric occupational therapy, we support kids developing the ability to share, take turns, read social cues, and engage in meaningful play, which in turn helps to build confidence, friendships, and emotional growth along the way.
Executive functioning skills are the brain’s tools for getting things done, such as paying attention, following directions, staying organized, and managing emotions. In pediatric occupational therapy, we help children build these skills so they can success in daily routines, school tasks, and social situations with more independence and confidence.
Reflex integration helps children overcome retained primitive reflexes that can affect movement, coordination, and attention. Therapists use specific activities to support brain and body development, improving a child’s ability to learn, play, and function.
