About Occupational Therapy

What is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational Therapy (OT) is a specialised healthcare service that helps children develop the skills needed to perform everyday activities independently.

These activities include eating, dressing, bathing, writing, playing, learning and interacting with others.

Some children may experience difficulties with coordination, balance, sensory processing, attention, handwriting or self-care activities. Occupational Therapy helps address these difficulties through planned therapeutic interventions based on the child's individual needs.

At Sampoorna Clinic, our approach focuses on understanding each child's strengths and areas of difficulty before developing a personalised therapy programme.
