Would an OT Assessment Benefit My Child?

How to tell if your child may benefit from occupational therapy—signs to watch for and what to do next.

Is your child struggling with everyday tasks like getting dressed, holding a crayon, or managing big emotions? Are you wondering whether their challenges are part of typical development—or signs they may need extra support?

In this clear and compassionate presentation from the Exceptional Family Resource Center’s Parenting Hacks series, pediatric occupational therapists explain what OT is, what it looks like in practice, and how to recognize if your child might benefit from an evaluation. You’ll learn how motor skills, sensory processing, self-care, emotional regulation, and even play behaviors can provide important clues—and what steps to take if you’re concerned.
