Occupational therapy (OT) is a treatment which focuses on helping people with physical, sensory, or cognitive disability to be as independent as possible in all areas of their lives.It helps them to do all the day-to-day activities which they aren't able to do because of their disability. Occupational therapists help and encourage people across the lifespan to participate in the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of everyday activities (occupations).

OT can also help children. The main job of a kid is to play and participate in the activities in the school..An occupational therapist evaluates the school performance and the daily activities of the child and compares them with what is appropriate for his/her age group. Children with birth defects, Autism,Hyperactivity, traumatic injuries,etc are benefited a lot by OT...
