Terapia ocupacional pediátrica ¿Qué es la Terapia Ocupacional Pediátrica? “Lograr la salud, el bienestar y la participación en la vida a través de la participación en la ocupación” es la declaración general que describe el dominio y el proceso de la terapia ocupacional en su sentido más completo. (The American Journal of Occupational Therapy, agosto de 2020, Vol. 74, Supl. 2) Los terapeutas ocupacionales pediátricos (OT, por sus siglas en inglés) consideran todos los aspectos del perfil ocupacional de un niño, incluidos sus roles como hijo o hija, hermano, estudiante/aprendiz temprano, amigo de sus compañeros. Como base para la selección de intervenciones motivadoras de OT calificadas adaptadas al niño individual, el OT aprende acerca de los intereses y actividades favoritas del niño. Los objetivos de la terapia ocupacional se relacionan con mejorar la participación exitosa en las actividades cotidianas, como jugar/aprender, atención, dormir, habilidades de afrontamiento/descanso, habilidades de relación/interacción, tareas de cuidado personal (vestirse, alimentarse, cepillarse los dientes, ir al baño, bañarse). Cada niño tiene una personalidad individual, métodos de afrontamiento, perfil del sistema nervioso que revela habilidades de modulación y procesamiento sensorial, y varía en habilidades motoras/físicas, emocionales, cognitivas y de desempeño social. Además de proporcionar una intervención OT directa con los niños, los terapeutas ocupacionales pediátricos colaboran con los cuidadores y brindan capacitación práctica a los cuidadores/padres para apoyar la implementación exitosa del programa recomendado en el hogar por parte de la familia.

Pop-up Sensory Workshops are announced each month. Led by occupational therapists and speech-language pathologists, our themed group events provide opportunities to enhance developmental play skills like pretend play and cooperative play. Participants also refine communication skills such as receptive (following directions, participating in adult-led activities) and expressive vocabulary, while fostering socialization skills through creative expression and friendship building. These themed events encourage turn-taking and sharing while promoting fine motor development (dexterity, coordination, manipulation), gross motor (motor planning and processing skills), and executive function abilities (planning, organizing, and execution). Additionally, children learn socio-emotional regulation skills (identifying and coping with big feelings, transitioning between activities, and regulating impulsive behaviors) within a fun and motivating environment.

To pay via Square you must select the Online payment option in the drop-down menu and press the Online payment button. Make sure to Register after those steps are completed.

First meetings with a therapist from Southshore Bilingual Therapy Inc., you can expect a thorough and careful evaluation of your child that is tailored to the concerns that prompted the referral. Each evaluation will utilize objective and standardized testing measures. Most evaluations are completed in 1 hour. Part of that time will be spent assessing your child and the rest will be utilized to speak with the parent/guardian present to collect additional information needed in addition to formal measures. We will also use the time to explain the results of the evaluation, provide any additional information, and answer any questions. Please note, that evaluations will vary from child to child (depending on age, capabilities, and/or physical/mental development). We strive to conduct each evaluation to minimize stress for the child and hope that it becomes a positive experience that the child enjoys. For this to succeed, your child might need information about the evaluation ahead of time. We recommend a few things for this process to be easier: Telling your child that we will be playing games with them For older children tell them we want to see how they use their eyes, hands, and muscles. Reassure your child that this is meant to be a fun experience for them.
