Occupational Therapy
At Developing Little Champions Therapy, we utilize occupational therapy services to enhance children's autonomy and facilitate their engagement in purposeful and meaningful occupations.
Occupations for infants, toddlers, and young children refer to the various activities and tasks that are essential for their growth, development, learning, and overall well-being. These activities are crucial for building foundational skills and achieving developmental milestones. Here are some common occupations for children in this age group:
Exploration and Play
Discovering the world through touch, sight, and sound with toys and sensory experiences, all within a child-led framework.
Feeding and Mealtime
Learning to eat independently, transition to solids, and use utensils, all while making mealtime a playful experience.
Self-Care and Hygiene
Beginning to dress, bathe, and brush teeth with guidance in a child-led manner.
Gross and Fine Motor Skills
Progressing from rolling and crawling to fine motor skills like stacking blocks and coloring, incorporating play as a key tool for development.
Cognitive Development
Exploring problem-solving, cause-and-effect, and imaginative play through child-led and playful activities.
Sleep and Rest
Establishing healthy sleep routines for overall well-being, ensuring a restful and playful environment.
Emotional Regulation
Learning to identify and manage emotions within a supportive and playful therapeutic setting.
