Occupational therapists assist children and adults to develop, recover, or maintain their daily living and work skills. They also identify potential environmental barriers and recommend adaptations to help individuals to become more independent and participate in family and community activities. For young children, their daily living skills include feeding themselves, learning to crawl or walk so they can explore their environment, using their eyes and hands to explore toys, and having the ability to stay calm and focused so that they can interact with their friends and family. For a child with gross motor delays, an occupational therapist will determine what factors are preventing the child from rolling, crawling, or walking and then recommend targeted activities to promote the desired skill. For the child that has poor trunk control, the occupational therapist may suggest adaptations that can be made to a tricycle so that the child can learn to ride it. For the child who has difficulty with calming, the occupational therapist may work with the family to find strategies, sensory input, and/or environmental modifications to assist the child to self-soothe.
