Occupational Therapy Department

In the field of early intervention, the role of occupational therapy is to facilitate the independent functioning of infants and toddlers in their daily living situations. Achieving independent functioning according to developmental age involves assessment and intervention in areas such as motor control, sensory modalities, adaptive coping, sensorimotor development, socio-emotional development, daily living skills, and play.

The main treatment approaches used include:

Neurodevelopmental Theory
Rood’s Approach
Sensory Integration
Behavior Modification

Children undergoing occupational therapy are often categorized with conditions such as cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, global developmental delay, microcephaly, hydrocephalus, ADHD, and others. The primary goals of occupational therapists working with parents are to support, enable, and empower them to create an environment that prevents developmental delays and promotes harmonious growth and development.

Currently, more than 70 children are in the intervention process. The department is staffed by three professional occupational therapists and is equipped with various tools and devices designed for specific therapeutic interventions.
