Occupational therapy in Brooklyn: building everyday skills
Occupational Therapy Brooklyn NYC 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.

Common questions from Brooklyn families
What does pediatric occupational therapy help with?
What's the difference between OT and PT?
Do you accept NY Medicaid in Brooklyn?
My child is under 3 can they still get OT?
Yes. Children from birth to age 3 are served through the NYC Early Intervention Program (EIP). We provide licensed occupational therapy as part of that program and help you navigate the referral.
Do you coordinate with Brooklyn schools?
Yes. We coordinate with each school’s Committee on Special Education (CSE) and, for preschoolers, the Committee on Preschool Special Education (CPSE), aligning OT goals with your child’s IEP.
