Therapies (Pediatric Rehabilitation Services)

Occupational Therapy

Pediatric Occupational Therapy at WVCA focuses on feeding, sensory motor skills (body movement) sensory processing (the use of touch, movement, sight, sound, smell and the force of gravity and body position to function), fine motor manipulation (how to hold and use a pencil and scissors or how to perform dressing skills such as buttoning), perceptual skills (eye-hand coordination), seating and special equipment (splints, adaptive spoons, etc.) needs. Oral motor/feeding assessments are also provided.

The goal of our team of Occupational Therapists, who are licensed by the National Board For Certification in Occupational Therapy, is to aid the development of the aforementioned skills so that the child can be as independent as possible in all aspects of daily living.
