Occupational therapy is a part of the healthcare system that assists people of all ages who are experiencing physical, sensory, or cognitive difficulties. It can help them to regain their independence in all spheres of their lives by dealing with the barriers that affect their emotional, social, and physical needs.

• Difficulties with fine motor movements such as hand grip or pencil grip
• Difficulties with emotional regulation
• Sensory deficits
• Difficulties with independence in self-care routine, such as showering, dressing, brushing teeth
• Sensory difficulties with toileting
• Difficulties with play skills
• Difficulties with coping strategies 
• Providing assistive technologies

Occupational therapy will use common activities, exercises, and therapies to address emotional, social, and physical needs. It focuses on improving fine motor skills, visual-perceptual abilities, cognitive functions, and sensory processing. For children, it aids in:

• Fine motor skill development for grasping toys, improving handwriting, and computer proficiency.
• Enhancing eye-hand coordination for play and academic tasks like copying from a blackboard.
• Teaching essential life skills such as self-care and feeding.
• Promoting positive behaviors and social skills, including managing emotions.
• Providing necessary equipment like wheelchairs, splints, and communication aids to foster independence.
