At Temecula Valley Therapy Services, we believe that Occupational Therapy (OT) can help build the foundation
for speech and language development and optimize learning potential.
Occupational Therapists work with children who do not demonstrate age appropriate behaviors
and abilities in one or more of the following areas:
Cognition:
Thinking skills; problem solving skills; attention to task; safety awareness.
Physical:
Integrating reflexes to develop voluntary movement patterns; developing motor
skills, balance and equilibrium reactions; muscle tone; eye-hand coordination, grasp-release and
manipulation of objects.
Adaptive/Self Help Skills:
Feeding or using utensils; dressing and using fasteners; toileting
and other hygiene skills; awareness of environmental dangers.
Handwriting:
Ability to grasp pen/pencil; letter formation; spacing and page orientation.
Sensory Integration:
Orienting to and processing sensation from the body and stimuli from the environment.
