Frequently Asked Questions

What does occupational therapy address?▾

OT helps with fine motor skills, sensory processing, self-care (eating, dressing), handwriting, and daily living skills.

How is sensory processing disorder treated?▾

OTs use sensory integration therapy, providing controlled sensory experiences to help children better process and respond to sensory input.

Does my child need OT if they're already in ABA?▾

Often yes. OT addresses different skills than ABA. Many children benefit from both therapies working together.

Can OT help with picky eating?▾

Yes. OTs often work on feeding challenges related to sensory sensitivities, oral motor skills, and food aversions.
