Quick Summary: PPEC Occupational Therapy in Lehigh Acres
Occupational therapy at our Lehigh Acres PPEC helps medically fragile children build the everyday skills they need — feeding, dressing, handwriting, playing, and regulating sensory input. It is delivered on site, one-to-one, as part of your child’s plan of care at our prescribed pediatric rehabilitation center.
Key takeaways
- On-site therapists: occupational therapy is provided at our Lehigh Acres center by occupational therapists who are Children’s Rehab employees, not agency contractors.
- One-to-one sessions: your child works alone with their therapist, and children are never grouped during therapy.
- What we work on: self-feeding, dressing, hand strength and grasp, handwriting, play skills, and sensory regulation.
- Woven into the day: therapy fits around nursing care, education, and activities, so families do not need a separate trip.
- No extra cost to families: occupational therapy is provided to every child who needs it as a complementary part of their PPEC plan of care.
- Family updates: parents receive texts, photos, and videos during the week so you can see progress as it happens.

PPEC Occupational Therapy
PPEC 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, PPEC 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, PPEC occupational therapy empowers medically fragile children to engage actively in their environment, foster independence, and achieve meaningful milestones.

Occupational therapy at our center helps children with fine motor skills and with independence in self-care tasks such as dressing, grooming, and eating, working toward the developmental milestones that matter for each child.
Our occupational therapists work with children to improve their ability to perform daily activities and reach developmental milestones, using activities that match each child’s abilities and medical needs.
An occupational therapist who is part of our full-time therapy department provides the sessions. We hire our own therapists instead of contracting through an agency, so therapy is coordinated with our nursing and education staff.
Occupational therapy is included in the plan of care your child’s physician approves, and sessions take place during the days your child attends the center. Your child’s therapist reviews progress with you and updates goals as skills change.
Goals start with what matters most to your family, and they are written into your child’s individualized treatment plan with input from our nurses, teachers, and your child’s physician.
