Occupational Therapy
Overview
Occupational therapy (OT) is a health profession that helps you or your family member develop the skills needed for day-to-day activities when these abilities are reduced or lost. Shannon uses evidence-based OT practice to help children and their families address difficulties. This includes sensory integration, picky eating, fine motor/printing skills, and self-regulation and activities of daily living (dressing, toileting, play).
