PPEC Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy for medically fragile children encompasses a tailored approach to address their unique physical, cognitive, and emotional needs. Our occupational therapists focus on enhancing the child’s ability to participate in daily activities essential for their overall well-being and development. This may include fine motor skills training, sensory integration therapy, adaptive equipment assessments, and interventions to promote independence in self-care tasks such as feeding, dressing, and grooming. Additionally, occupational therapy sessions may target sensory processing difficulties, cognitive impairments, and behavioral challenges commonly experienced by medically fragile children, aiming to improve their quality of life and maximize their potential. Our therapists collaborate closely with the child’s medical team and caregivers to develop personalized treatment plans that prioritize safety, comfort, and progress. Through a holistic and client-centered approach, occupational therapy empowers medically fragile children to engage actively in their environment, foster independence, and achieve meaningful milestones.
