Occupational Therapy
Easterseals MORC offers occupational therapy helps children with disabilities and other special needs, such as Cerebral Palsy, ASD, Down syndrome, learning disabilities, and developmental delays, achieve daily tasks.
Children who need Occupational Therapy have:
- Difficulty performing daily activities, including eating, dressing or writing

- Poor motor planning, coordination, strength and body awareness
Therapy helps children by:
- Identifying the tools, environment and skills needed to successfully perform daily activities.
- Assessing a child’s daily performance of self-care including grooming and play.
- Creating individual therapy programs that enhance and teach skills such as manipulating objects, feeding and dressing.
- Improve fine motor, gross motor, visual perception and motor skills.
