Occupational therapy practitioners are health professionals who help individuals live as fully and independently as possible. They specialize in helping individuals who are sick, disabled, or developmentally challenged develop the skills they need for everyday life. OT Intervention focuses on occupations that can be as basic as getting dressed and eating or as complex as socializing and holding a job.
Language, as with learning, is a complex skill. OTs can help by addressing first the pre-requisite skills needed for your child to talk such as his behaviors and sensory issues. An OT session might be needed first to maximise your Speech Therapy sessions.
Occupational therapists are trained in the detailed mechanics of hand function as well as all other aspects that relate to the task of handwriting. The skill of handwriting requires several underlying skills before a child can effectively write. The skills that are needed for handwriting are: Body & Spatial Awareness, Laterality, Directionality, Visual Perception, Visual Motor, Integration, Postural Stability, In Hand Manipulation, Hand Separation, Hand Strength, Movement & Position Awareness, Motor Planning, Ocular Motor Control, Bilateral Integration, Eye Hand Coordination, Sensory Integration, Tactile Discrimination, Memory, Attention, Orientation to Letters, and Sequencing. It is hard to know exactly what is at the root of a handwriting problem without a thorough assessment from an occupational therapist.
Some signs of sensory processing difficulties are:
• Overly sensitive or under reactive to sight, sounds, movement, or touch.
• Can’t get “enough” sensory input: moving, bouncing, squeezing, or mouthing.
• Difficulty with behavioral and/or emotional regulation. Easily overwhelmed (may result in overexcitement, meltdowns or shutting down.)
• Has poor muscle tone, fatigues easily, leans on people, or slumps in a chair. Uses an inappropriate amount of force when handling objects, coloring, writing, or interacting with siblings or pets
• Is clumsy, falls frequently, bumps into furniture or people, and has trouble judging position of body in relation to surrounding space.
• Has difficulty learning new motor tasks; experiences frustration when attempting to follow instructions or sequence steps for an activity.
• Avoids playground activities, physical education class, and/or sports
• Difficulty learning how to play or get along with other children
• Difficulty with everyday activities like eating, sleeping, brushing teeth or getting dressed
• Problems learning to color, cut, draw or write
• Difficulty transitioning from one activity or place to another
• Challenges in school, including attention, organizational perception and listening skills.
Autism is one of those common conditions which remain unidentified or undiagnosed until very late into the developmental or formative years of a child. The reasons behind this are limited awareness of parents as well as denial or hesitancy in accepting their child's problems. This in turn, delays early intervention. Diagnosing autism in children becomes difficult as they do not display any obvious physical problems. In absence of the above mentioned problems, your family doctor would refer your child to any of the below as The assessment of children with autism requires multiple evaluators, using multiple methods of gathering information. A formal diagnosis is best done by a team of professionals comprising of a developmental pediatrician, a psychologist, an occupational therapist, a speech and language pathologist and a few others. This team carries out several assessments and tests, which pinpoint the exact areas in which the child has a problem.
Yes, there are many things you can try before contacting a speech pathologist.
1. label or name everything you see using one word – this is a great way to increase receptive vocabulary
2. keep instructions simple using short phrases (i.e. “put in,” “go bye-bye,” “all done play-doh”)
3. facilitate anticipatory communication by setting up fun, repetitive routines (such as pushing cars off a table, swinging him in the air, etc.) Once he knows and understands the routine, cue him to verbalize or gesture for continuation of the activity (i.e. “car fall,” “up,” or “more”)
4. establish visual attention when talking to him
5. do not anticipate his needs but rather reward his communication attempts by giving him the desired objects or actions once he uses a vocalization or a word.
If communication doesn’t improve, it may be time to have a speech-language pathologist evaluate your child. This is generally accomplished in a play-like environment, so it is not a traumatic event! A therapist will assess his ability to name items while playing, but also his comprehension skills or receptive language (i.e. follow directions, play with items in a typical manner, answer yes/no questions, demonstrate knowledge of familiar items, etc.) The therapist will then compare his communication skills with that of a typically developing child of his age and determine if therapy is warranted.
Parents are welcome to sit in and watch during evaluation or OT sessions. However, some children may be anxious and exhibit negative behaviors that may not occur when alone, and these affect the overall results.
The duration of therapy varies for every child. The goal is always to help children move out of therapy and get into age-appropriate activities with their peers as soon as possible.
The OT evaluation is different from a pediatric medicine doctor evaluation. The skills are broken down into very specific OT categories to help create a good plan for intervention.
We are offering latest treatments under one roof in a comfortable & child-friendly environment. Our aim is to provide multi-disciplinary rehabilitation for children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and other neurodevelopmental disorders like ADHDT, Cerebral palsy, Learning disability, etc.
