Many people are surprised to hear that children participate in occupational therapy, because we usually associate the term "occupation" with jobs adults perform. However, there is a broader view of "occupations" that include children's activities such as playing, learning and socializing with friends. At Pediatric Therapy Network, we help children develop these necessary skills so their transition into adulthood becomes a path to an independent and rewarding life. Our pediatric occupational therapists provide evaluation, intervention and consultation in the following areas:

• Fine Motor/Handwriting Skills
  
  
• Play & Socialization
  
  
• Sensory Integration
  
  
• Organizing and Planning their Motor Skills
  
  
• Oral Motor Functioning
  
  
• Self-Help & Hygiene
  
  
• Adaptive Equipment Modifications
  
  
• Environmental Adaptations for Home and School Settings
  
  

Pediatric Therapy Network's treatment rooms and innovative equipment is designed to mirror playful activities to the child, yet the therapist are actually drawing upon extensive training to provide challenging therapeutic activities aimed at developing greater capabilities and skill levels.
