Pediatric Occupational Therapy Services
At The Speech Spot, we’re known for providing exceptional speech therapy services, but we also offer expert occupational therapy to support your child’s development. Our occupational therapy services are designed to help children build essential skills for daily life, focusing on fine motor skills, sensory processing, and functional independence.
What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational therapy helps children develop the skills they need to thrive in everyday activities at home, school, and in their communities. Occupational therapy involves improving skills in physical, sensory, cognitive, feeding, and motor areas to better complete daily tasks. Our approach is fun, structured, and tailored to meet the unique needs of each child, ensuring they feel supported and motivated throughout the therapy process.
