At MindBridge Solutions, our occupational therapists (OTs) and Certified Occupational Therapy Assistants (COTAs) help students improve their motor, sensory, and self-care skills to function successfully in school and daily life.
Occupational therapy helps students improve their fine and gross motor skills, which are essential for school-related activities such as:
By improving motor coordination, strength, and endurance, occupational therapy helps students participate more fully in classroom and school activities.
Some students experience sensory processing difficulties, which means they may be overly sensitive to stimuli (e.g., loud noises, bright lights, certain textures) or may not respond to sensory input appropriately. These challenges can significantly impact their ability to focus, engage, and regulate emotions in school.
OTs use sensory integration therapy to help students:
Interventions may include sensory breaks, weighted tools, fidget devices, alternative seating (e.g., wobble chairs, therapy balls), and structured movement activities to help students stay engaged and focused.
In the school setting, occupational therapy supports students in developing self-care and independent living skills that promote autonomy and confidence. These include:
Students with physical or developmental challenges may struggle with these tasks, and OT provides strategies, modifications, and practice opportunities to increase independence in daily school routines.
Our licensed OTs and COTAs have experience working with diverse student needs.
We focus on both academic and functional development.
Each therapy plan is designed to meet the student’s specific needs.
