Occupational Therapy for Cerebral Palsy

Occupational Therapy:  An occupational therapist specializes in improving the development of the small muscles of the body, such as the hands, feet, face, fingers and toes.  These therapists also teach daily living skills such as dressing and eating, as well as making sure children are properly positioned in wheelchairs.  They may teach your child better or easier ways to write, draw, cut with scissors, brush their teeth, dress, and feed themselves.  Occupational therapists will also help your child find the right special equipment to make everyday jobs a little easier.
