Occupational therapy develops a child’s or adult’s ability to complete activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, eating, doing housework or schoolwork, or performing job-related tasks. It can help them improve hand-eye coordination, develop strength in their wrists and hands, improve fine motor skills, reach developmental milestones and learn to use adaptive equipment or techniques. To learn whether occupational therapy might be helpful in your situation, talk to your healthcare provider.
