Occupational therapy in Newark: building everyday skills
Occupational therapy in Newark NJ helps children build the everyday skills they need to play, learn, and care for themselves. A child’s “occupations” are the things that fill their day, getting dressed, holding a pencil, sitting still in class, and joining other kids at play. Therefore, OT steps in when those things are harder than they should be.
