Occupational Therapy:

PEDIATRICS:

 
Pediatric occupational therapy helps children gain independence and promote development of fine motor, sensory motor and visual motor skills that children need to function and socialize in their home, school, play and community environments. In the case of an injury or debilitating illness, our services focus on rehabilitating children, allowing them to return to their daily routines at their highest level of function.
