How occupational therapies transform lives in children?

 Learning skills and other developmental skills are different for different children. Developmental delays during their infancy are common. Moreover, some children take more time to walk or learn than other children of the same age.

The role of parents during these situations are inevitable. It is essential to consult a  doctor or a therapist to identify the developmental problems in the toddlers. 

A good occupational therapist can find and treat effectively using different therapy sessions. Differently-abled children have some other special skills than normal children.

• Wheelchairs and wheelchair transfers

• Biofeedback as an adjunct therapy
