Occupational therapy is used when someone is having difficulty with everyday tasks.

The occupational therapist will assess whether there is something specific that should be addressed such as:

• Handwriting
• Use of cutlery
• Getting dressed
• Navigating to other places
• Dressing or grooming
  and will help to find solutions for these difficulties.

For children, an occupational therapist may also engage in activities aimed at improving general motor skills.

As children grow, the tasks that they find difficulty with will change and occupational therapists are able to help with these transitions.
