Occupational therapy for children maintains its focus on their developmental skills from infancy to adolescence.

Oftenly the parents think that their child is lazy to do his daily activities or he is not taking interest to play with the same age group, just because his age is not appropriate or he is too younger to understand the things….and so the parents wait for the right time.

Usually parents do not have this much awareness that their might be some sensory disintegration, planning and execution difficulties,which is the main obstacle in children’s developmental growth.

These children may not know how to express the difficulty and their parents also don’t know how to handle the child with their growing age.

Fortunately the professional and well experienced occupational therapist knows very well to deal with these children in a very playful manner.
