What is occupational therapy?
Occupational therapists help autistic and neurodivergent children and families engage in any and all of their meaningful occupations. We call these “activities of daily living.” For kids, these activities include things like play, emotional regulation, and learning independent care skills.
At Neurocare for Kids we use a neurodiversity-affirming approach in our occupational therapy services. We take care to help your child understand their own processing and regulation needs so that they may grow into self-advocates. We use a variety of occupational theories to inform our work, none of which include behaviorist strategies. We meet neurodivergent learning, regulation, and environmental demands in a way that feels safe and comfortable for everyone.
Skills occupational therapists support:
-
Fine Motor Skills
Developing functional skills for self-feeding, writing, clothing fasteners, scissors, and more.
-
Sensory / Emotional Regulation
Understanding sensory differences and emotional dysregulation. Gain tools to support regulation at home, school, and in your community.
-
Self Care Skills
Improve skills for independence with personal hygiene, self-feeding, and other independent life-skills.
-
Social Skills
Support self-advocacy and communication for neurotypical & neurodivergent interactions.
Is remote or in-home occupational therapy effective?
At NeuroCare for Kids, we LOVE working with families and children either remotely or in-home. It gives us an opportunity to see kids as they truly exist in the world. Busy clinics and artificial circumstances do not compare. Remote services also offer you the flexibility to join sessions and cut down on commute and wait-room time. Most importantly, your family will learn reasonable ways to support your child’s development and well-being where it matters most. In their everyday life.
Here is some research on the topic, if you’re interested.
