Occupational Therapy

All kids whether they have an identified disability or not, deserve the opportunity to function to the best of their abilities.

At Liberty POST, our occupational therapists use their expertise to help children gain the functional skills they need for independence in play, learning, motor skill development, self-care, and socialization in their home, school and community environments. Collaboration with caregivers and healthcare providers is a strong component to our occupational therapy program. Our therapists provide support and education to families to facilitate continued growth outside the direct therapy sessions.

 

In pediatrics, the occupational therapists will address the following areas using activities that are based in play and meaningful for the child and the family:

Gross and Fine Motor Skills
  • Muscle tone, strength, and endurance
  • Postural stability
  • Motor planning or praxis
The Sensory System
  • Sensory integration, regulation, and interpretation
  • Modulation and activity level
  • Sensory defensiveness
  • Sensory seeking behaviors
Self-care Skills
  • Oral Motor/Feeding Skills
  • Dressing/undressing
  • Hygiene and washing
Visual Motor Integration
  • Visual Perception
  • Refined motor coordination
  • Pre-writing skills
