Pediatric occupational therapy (OT) helps children build the skills they need for everyday activities. At Tulsa Sunshine Center in Broken Arrow, OT for kids works on fine motor, gross motor, sensory, cognitive, and social-emotional skills, so your child can take part in daily life with more confidence.
 

You might consider pediatric occupational therapy for your child if you notice any of the following signs:
 

1. Trouble with hand-eye coordination, such as catching a ball or tying their shoes

2. Messy handwriting, or trouble with cutting and drawing

3. Delays in gross motor skills, such as crawling, walking, or running

4. Sensory processing difficulties, such as being overly sensitive or under-responsive to sounds, touch, or movement

5. Trouble with attention, focus, or staying organized

6. Difficulty with self-care skills, such as getting dressed, grooming, and using the bathroom

7. A diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder, Down syndrome, or another developmental disorder
    

If you have concerns about how your child handles daily activities, or you notice they aren't meeting age-appropriate milestones, talk with your pediatrician or a pediatric occupational therapist. Early intervention can make a big difference in a child's overall development and quality of life. Our Broken Arrow clinic serves families from across the Tulsa area, and we accept most major insurances.
