OTs help children with:

- Self-care activities (i.e. dressing)
- Oral-motor functioning
- Sensory processingÂ
- Motor planning
- Play & socialization
- Facilitating movement to help a child reach for toys
- Positioning for feeding, eating and swallowing
- Educating clients and families in food selection, feeding techniques, and schedules
- Helping children dress or eat independently
