Can my child benefit from OT?
Occupational therapy (OT) can provide exercises and strategies to improve infant/toddler and childhood development, prewriting skills, fine motor development, handwriting, emotional regulation, bilateral coordination, executive functioning and social skills to name a few. OT can also help with sensory integration. The sensory processing system is part of the central nervous system and when regulated, can help the child interact with and be successful in their environment.
The dysregulated student might exhibit the following:
Fidgets during learning time
Distracts others
Chews on their shirt/pencils
Messy eater
Gets too close to others
Makes noises during learning time
Covers ears with unexpected noises
Avoids swinging/movement
Seeks movement
Disorganized and scattered
Poor body awareness
Poor time management
Poor social skills
