What is occupational therapy? 

The profession of occupational therapy is concerned with a person’s ability to participate in desired daily life activities or “occupations.”  A child's occupations range from playing, being a student, and even being a brother/sister.  In the school setting occupational therapists use their unique expertise to help children to be prepared for and perform important learning and school- related activities and to fulfill their role as students.

At Learning Charms, occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants support academic and non-academic outcomes including social skills, math, reading, fine motor, handwriting, recess, participation in sports, and self-help skills for typically developing children aged 3-17.  Occupational therapists are  particularly skilled in facilitating access to curricular and extra-curricular activities for all students through supports, design planning, and other methods. Additionally, they play a critical role in training parents, teachers, and other staff members regarding educating students with diverse learning styles or needs.
