Occupational Therapy
Break barriers and engage with life.
Establishing building blocks that nurture and promote a child’s strengths sets them up for new accomplishments and greater self-worth. Friendship’s Pediatric Services occupational therapy services help children develop their daily occupations such as play, social interaction, school, community outings, and self-care.
Occupational Therapists are available to provide therapy services in our developmental preschools and our outpatient therapy clinics for individuals ages birth to 21.
