Everyone’s body processes the sensory input provided from the environment around us differently. Sometimes a person’s body is not interpreting the information properly, confusing their body and making it difficult to interact properly within their environment and learn/master new skills.Through a variety of treatment approaches, Occupational Therapy can work towards helping the body properly interpret the input it is receiving and respond appropriately.

Self Care, Life and Social Skills
Activities of daily living references the daily tasks that one participates in to care for themselves: dressing, bathing, eating, grooming, etc. As children grow and mature they require additional life skills to continue to flourish and expand their independence, such as money management, self-organization and orientation, kitchen tasks and vocational preparation. Occupational Therapy can also assist children in skills required for social settings, such as self-regulation, proper problem identification, body language, eye-contact and problem solving social situations through simulation, strategy implementation and real-life implementation and trials.
