April marks Occupational Therapy Month, a time dedicated to honoring and spreading awareness about the vital work carried out by occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants. At BHSC, we extend our gratitude to all our occupational therapy professionals for their unwavering commitment to supporting students with disabilities. Their efforts empower these students to fully engage in school activities and social interactions, enabling them to lead enriched and complete lives. If you think your child could benefit from these important OT services, call our clinic at 716-885-8318.

School-based occupational therapy helps individuals with daily living and work skills needed to function with greater independence. These early intervention services allow children to strengthen their fine motor skills and allow them to navigate different social interactions, all while improving their sensory processing, mobility, and cognitive development.

If you’re looking for OT services that can help your child grow long into the future, it’s imperative to find the right therapists with the knowledge and experience that cater to your child’s specific needs.

BHSC utilizes proven occupational therapy techniques while encompassing many progressive services such as, clinic-based occupational therapy, therapeutic listening sensory integration, and our handwriting improvement program, to provide individualized assistance and attention with everyday tasks your child needs to prosper. 

Allowing your child to develop by working with the root cause of their deficit can help them reach their true potential, teaching them the skills they need to be productive not only in school settings, but through interactions with their peers and everyday activities. Contact us today to learn more about the variety of different programs and services we offer, and how we can help your child succeed with their early development and learning. Â
