about what occupational therapy (OT) is and how it can help your
child, this accessible overview is for you. Answering all of the
common questions about the issues an occupational therapist
might address with a child with special needs, including core
muscle strength, feeding, fine motor skills, sensory
sensitivities, transitions and life-skills, this book also
offers simple activities to practice at home that are
inexpensive, fun and, most-importantly, OT-approved. This will
be an illuminating and essential guide for parents and carers of
children with physical and developmental disabilities or parents
of children in rehabilitation from illness or injury.
Professionals who want to learn more about the principles and
practicalities of occupational therapy will also find it useful.
