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.
