Fine & Gross Motor
Occupational therapists work on developing and improving fine and gross motor skills, which are crucial for tasks like handwriting, cutting with scissors, running, jumping and self care.
Sensory Processing
-
OTs address sensory processing skills to help students effectively process and respond to sensory information from their environment. They work with students with sensory sensitivities or difficulties with sensory integration. By implementing sensory-based interventions and strategies, occupational therapists support students in managing sensory challenges and enhancing their attention, focus, and self-regulation in the classroom.
Visual Motor & Perceptual
OTs enhance visual-motor skills, which involve the coordination of visual perception and motor movements. These skills are necessary for tasks such as copying from the board, tracking words while reading, and accurately placing objects. By strengthening visual-motor skills, occupational therapists support students' academic performance and overall functional abilities.
Social Skills
OTs promote social skills and social-emotional development in students. They address turn-taking, sharing, empathy, communication, and social interaction. By providing guidance, social stories, and social skills training, occupational therapists support students in building positive relationships, enhancing peer interactions, and navigating social situations within the school setting.
Executive Functions
OTs address executive functioning skills, encompassing a range of cognitive processes such as planning, organizing, time management, problem-solving, and self-control. These skills are essential for academic success and independent functioning. Occupational therapists help students develop strategies and routines to enhance their executive functioning abilities, enabling them to manage tasks, assignments, and classroom expectations effectively.
