How Online Therapy Works
Personal, Live Connection
As with traditional in-person therapy, online occupational therapy enables children to visit with same therapist each week on a private secure online platform, in which the therapist will initiate the live video and/or call. Through online therapy sessions, The Occupational Therapist delivers learning experiences that are highly engaging and proven to drive success. Our Occupational Therapists create a unique and modern learning environment using online tools that are both exciting and different from a child's regular day-to-day activities. Today’s generation of children were born in the electronic era - technology is their comfort zone! With this in mind, it is no surprise that both children and therapists agree that the technology behind online therapy becomes invisible, allowing the development of personal connections. THIS is the magic of online therapy!

Occupational Therapy (OT) is a skilled health, rehabilitation, and educational health service that helps people across the lifespan participate in the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of everyday activities (occupations). OT uses assessment and treatment to develop, recover, or maintain the daily living and work skills of people with a physical, mental, or cognitive disorder. OT's helps people across the lifespan participate in the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of everyday activities (occupations). Common OT interventions include helping children with disabilities to participate fully in school and social situations, helping people recovering from injury to regain skills, and providing supports for older adults experiencing physical and cognitive changes."
OT's promote skill development and independence in all daily activities. For an adult, this may mean looking at the areas of self-care, home-making, leisure, and work. The "occupations" of childhood may include playing in the park with friends, washing hands, going to the bathroom, cutting with scissors, drawing, etc. Occupational therapists work with individuals whose goals are to gain back basic functions that they have lost due to a form of disability. Stroke patients who lose function in one side of their body will need therapy to help regain fine motor skills and to learn to adjust performing basic functions like eating and brushing teeth with that lost function. An individual who has lost lost a limb or become paralyzed will need therapy to adjust to performing occupational tasks. Occupational therapists assist in the rehabilitation of these individuals through working on fine motor skills and regaining the ability perform everyday functions.
