Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapy (OT) is the use of therapeutic interventions that help a person achieve their highest level of independence in everyday activities. In a school setting, therapists use their expertise to help children with physical, psycho-social developmentally related learning difficulties in order to achieve optimal learning and independence.
