Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapy (OT) at EmpowerED focuses on equipping children with the skills they need to navigate their world with confidence and independence.

OT addresses physical, sensory, and cognitive challenges that may impact a child’s ability to perform daily activities such as playing, learning, and interacting with others. At EmpowerED, we understand that every child is unique, and our evidence-based, child-centered approach ensures individualized care tailored to each child’s needs.
