Occupational
Therapy
Chileda's
occupational therapy curriculum is designed to teach the skills
needed to lead self-sufficient, productive and satisfying lives.
Therapy focuses on improving developmental growth, sensorimotor,
perceptual and cognitive development, gross and fine motor coordination,
strength and range of motion, self-care skills and pre-vocational
and domestic aptitude.
While the
skills learned in this program are targeted toward the general objective
of productivity in a supervised work environment, occupational therapy
also assists the child with developing talents that help them succeed
in school, play and other social situations.
In addition,
occupational therapy assists with the design, fabrication and use
of adaptive services tailored to the individual. Some children may
benefit from specially designed splints, adaptive equipment or other
aids to help them function more independently.
