Occupational therapy could address the areas of:

Postural Control

Postural control is the ability to hold the body in correct alignment to allow the neck, arm and leg levers to operate effectively and efficiently. If postural control is the core concern, physiotherapy is the first recommended intervention.

sensory integration OT

Sensory Integration

Sensory integration is the process of how the body receives sensory input, links it to the individual’s memory banks and responds with an adaptive response, which could range from a thought to an action. The two components of sensory integration are sensory discrimination (understanding the properties of the sensation) and sensory modulation (how the sensory input makes one feel).

Bilateral Integration

Co-ordinated use of the various sides of the body - This includes coordinating the left and rights sides of the body, or the legs and arms together (top/bottom), or using the arms and leg together in the front and back body spaces.

Motor Planning

Motor planning is the ability to formulate, plan, and execute a skilled, new motor action in the accurate sequence.  Well-functioning sensory organs, the accurate attention to and integration of incoming sensory input, efficient postural control and concentration skills are components required for effective motor planning and motor actions.
