Occupational Therapy is a division of rehabilitation medicine that helps individuals of all ages develop the skills required to become more independent in their daily lives. At Brookside, our occupational therapy program is designed to help children improve their fine motor skills, sensory processing skills, gross motor coordination, self feeding skills, visual motor integration skills, and dressing skills to help them reach their full potential. To achieve this, our occupational therapists use standardized assessments to identify your child's strengths and weaknesses, and work with parents to create goals for the child. By incorporating play and creative activities into treatment sessions, our occupational therapists work towards achieving goals at a therapeutic and appropriate pace, helping children develop the necessary skills to become more independent and achieve success in their daily lives.
