Helping Kids Understand Occupational Therapy: A Guide for Parents
Manage episode 413795930 series 2968750
As an OT, I often get asked how parents should explain why their child has to go to Occupational Therapy visits.
In this episode, parents will have some guidance on preparing children for evaluations, answering their questions about therapy, and explaining OT to siblings.
You'll learn simple scripts tailored to different child ages that will help demystify the process and make OT a more positive experience.
Whether you're new to OT or a seasoned pro, I'll share my tips for communicating effectively with kids about sensory processing and how an occupational therapist can help them feel more comfortable at home and school.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- What questions to ask of the OT clinic to prepare your child best
- Age-appropriate ways to explain the evaluation process to kids
- Sample scripts for talking to children about why they attend OT sessions
- Sample scripts for helping neurotypical siblings understand why their sibling attends OT
