Transitional Services

How can OT help my son or daughter successfully transition to their new school or residence?

Occupational therapy (OT) is a client-centered service that improves performance in functional activities and social participation through the use of occupation based activities.  Engaging in an “occupation” is the process of doing something purposeful and meaningful in one’s everyday life. A child’s primary occupations include playing, learning at home and in school, and gaining independent self-help skills.  An adult’s primary occupations vary, but typically include socializing, participating in some form of work or valued hobby, self care or basic activities of daily living (ADLs), and  instrumental acts of daily living (IADLs) which include shopping, navigating community transportation and home management.  As people transition through various phases of life, new skills are required, and a decline in function result.  The transition from childhood to independence can be particularly difficult to navigate. We are here to help.
