Occupational therapy focuses on helping children develop the skills they need to perform important daily activities. These “occupations” include self-care tasks, play, learning, and social interaction. Whether your child is struggling with fine motor skills, sensory processing, or social engagement, our therapists use fun, engaging methods to support their growth and development.
At Ability Ally, we provide tailored interventions to address a wide range of needs.
Key Areas We Focus On
- Fine Motor Skills Development: Helping your child improve hand-eye coordination and dexterity for activities like writing, cutting, or buttoning clothes.
- Gross Motor Skills & Physical Strength: Building balance, coordination, and core strength to support tasks like running, climbing, and sitting still.
- Sensory Integration: Assisting children who may feel overwhelmed or under-responsive to sensory input (e.g., loud noises, textures, or movement).
- Social and Emotional Skills: Teaching self-regulation, sharing, and other vital interpersonal skills for making friends and navigating social situations.
