Pediatric occupational therapy focuses on aiding children in developing the necessary skills for them to grow into independent, functional adults. Physical impairment, injuries, and a variety of other issues can hamper a kid\u2019s ability to perform common tasks or progress in a standard fashion with social and\/or cognitive development. The longer a child goes without learning these skills, the more problems can compound\u2014this makes the skills of a pediatric occupational therapist critical to their patients. Our therapists have master\u2019s degrees to work with children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. The occupational therapy practitioners at Sonrisas Therapies enable children to full lives, by promoting health and preventing\u2014or helping to live better with\u2014injury, illness or disability.<\/h5>\n

Children don\u2019t like to just sit in therapy, so our occupational therapists strive to make the sessions feel like play. By participating in motivating activities such as board games, crafts, building obstacle courses, and many more, these children develop skills while having fun at the same time! At Sonrisas, we help children develop necessary physical, cognitive and sensory skills so they can perform daily tasks with greater independence. Remember, specific treatment options will vary for each child, as will the overall duration of therapy. For questions about your child, be sure to consult Sonrisas Therapies.<\/span><\/b><\/h5>\n
