Pediatric Occupational Therapist

• Jan 2017 - Jan 2018

My focus is on helping children develop the skills they need to grow into functional, independent adults throughout the Northeast Philadelphia region. Physical impairment, injuries, and a host of other issues can hamper a child’s ability to perform common tasks or progress normally through the stages of social or cognitive development. My goal is to help close the developmental gap between delayed children and typically developing children with the use of creative and interactive therapy interventions. Common areas of development that therapy will target to improve include, but are not limited to: Cognitive skills – remembering letters, shapes, and sequences Fine motor skills – finger dexterity, wrist and forearm control, and hand strength Gross motor skills – balance and body coordination Self-care tasks – dressing, bathing, and self-feeding Social skills – taking turns, listening, and following directions Show less
