Occupational therapy treatment uses activity (occupation) to help build skills that will help improve occupational performance. With children, this means play! Since children use play as a primary method of learning about the self and the world, OTs use meaningful functional play activities to work toward the therapy goals. Emphasis is on using activities that are intrinsically interesting, motivating and satisfying but shaped in a way that facilitates skill building. When working with children occupational therapy should look like a lot of fun.
