Occupational therapy for toddlers is typically focused on sensory processing, fine motor, feeding and play skills. These areas would be targeted by working with caregivers to incorporate opportunities to practice and strengthen skills into that child's daily routine. Daily routines for a toddler would likely include meal times, diaper changes/toileting, play time and rest time. The OT would work with the family (in clinic, in home, in daycare or virtually) to develop goal areas that are important to the child and family. Weekly sessions would include follow up from the previous session and home program as well as working on developing new strategies/activities to continue to make progress toward the goal areas the family has established.
