Occupational therapy is a treatment focused on helping individuals perform daily activities (or "occupations") more independently and efficiently. It includes helping with tasks like dressing, writing, cooking, and organizing, particularly when physical, mental, or developmental challenges make these tasks difficult.
Children, adults, and elderly individuals can benefit from OT. It is particularly beneficial for those with developmental delays, physical disabilities, sensory processing issues, and recovery after injury or surgery. OT also helps individuals with mental health issues or cognitive challenges in performing daily tasks.
OT addresses a wide range of issues, including fine motor skills (e.g., handwriting, using utensils), sensory processing issues (e.g., sensitivity to touch or sounds), self-care routines (e.g., dressing, bathing), and cognitive skills (e.g., organizing, planning).
Signs that a child may benefit from OT include difficulties with fine motor skills (e.g., holding a pencil), trouble with self-care tasks (e.g., dressing), challenges with coordination, issues with sensory sensitivities (e.g., avoiding certain textures or sounds), or difficulty organizing tasks at school.
The duration of OT varies depending on the individual’s needs. For children, sessions typically last between 30 minutes to 1 hour and may continue for several months, depending on progress. Therapy is often ongoing with periodic assessments to adjust goals and treatments.
