Occupational Therapy

Every skill is a step toward independence.

The occupational therapy It aims to support individuals in developing and utilizing the skills necessary for their participation in daily life. The intervention may focus on motor, sensory, cognitive, organizational, and functional skills, depending on each individual’s needs.

At our centers in Geraka, Attica and to the Lagkada, Thessaloniki, each program is tailored to the individual.

When might an occupational therapy evaluation be necessary?

An evaluation may be necessary when a child exhibits difficulties:

  • Ιn everyday activities — clothing, food, self-service
  • In the game and school participation
  • In motor coordination and in balance
  • In handwriting performance — difficulty writing, difficulty holding a pencil
  • In organization and the planning of activities
  • Ιn sensory processing — hypersensitivity or seeking out stimuli

Assessment helps us understand which skills have been developed, which ones need reinforcement, and how they can be supported.

Personalized intervention

Each occupational therapy program is designed according to the individual’s needs and goals. Activities are selected in a functional manner and tailored to the individual’s age and abilities.

The therapeutic process may include activities that promote:

  • The subtle and coarse motor coordination
  • The organization of handwriting
  • The eye-hand coordination
  • The organization and planning
  • The attention and participation
  • The daily living skills
  • The autonomy

Therapy is meaningful when it is integrated into daily life

The goal is not simply to complete an activity in the classroom. We want the skills developed to help the child at home, at school, while playing, and in their daily activities.

Occupational therapy is often combined with Therapy or special treatment, depending on each child's needs.
