5 Reasons to Take Your Child to Occupational Therapy

We are HUGE fans of occupational therapy. So, when is it time to take your child to OT? Here are 5 ideas on when it might be time:

  1. When a child isn’t meeting appropriate developmental milestones.

  2. When a child is struggling with gross or fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination on both sides of the body working together.

  3. When a child is having trouble with sensory input—overwhelmed by it or excessively seeking it.

  4. When a child struggles to regulate their emotions.

  5. When a child is dealing with any issues that affects their physical or cognitive function, or a neurological condition, such as cerebral palsy or autism spectrum disorder.
