Pediatric occupational therapy helps children develop the skills they need to participate fully in home, school, and community life. Our team uses creative, play-based interventions to support a wide range of developmental challenges.
At our Morningside Heights clinic, we provide anurturing environment where kids feel safe, supported, and inspired to grow.
Pediatric Occupational Therapy (OT) supports children in developing the skills they need to participate successfully and meaningfully in everyday activities. OT is individualized, play-based, and family-centered, focusing on each child’s unique strengths and challenges.
Through skilled assessment, therapeutic activities, and collaboration with caregivers and educators, pediatric OT helps children achieve developmental milestones and build independence in functional skills that promote positive engagement in daily life.
Pediatric occupational therapy differs from adult rehabilitation because it is tailored to the unique needs of growing children. Rather than focusing only on strength, it nurtures cognitive, social, and adaptive skills through purposeful play that supports participation in activities children have to, need to, and want to do.
Every child is guided through carefullychosen activities that build neurological connections, regulate behavior, andpromote functional independence. We don’t just treat symptoms, we support yourchild’s overall development.
According to occupational therapy research published in the American Journal of Occupational Therapy, pediatric OT delivered in school and community settings supports children’s functional regulation, classroom participation, and engagement in daily routines, outcomes that are directly linked to improved school performance and reduced sensory-related behavioral challenges.
