Occupational therapy in the Bronx: building everyday skills
Occupational therapy Bronx 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 Bronx families
Real answers from our NYC care team.
What does pediatric occupational therapy help with?
Occupational therapy Bronx NYC helps children build everyday skills — fine motor control, handwriting, sensory processing, self-care like dressing and feeding, attention, and self-regulation — so they can participate more fully at home, in school, and at play.
What's the difference between OT and PT?
Do you accept NY Medicaid in the Bronx?
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 Bronx 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.
