Occupational therapists help students by using purposeful activities to promote functional independence.  Services are designed for the prevention of deformity and facilitation of normal development while improving motor development, play skills, self-concept and emotional maturity.  Occupational therapy promotes age appropriate independence by developing daily living skills.  Assistive technology equipment and services are designed, fabricated and provided to meet each student’s needs.  The school environment is adapted to increase a child’s physical independence.  Oral motor development and eating skills are promoted.
