Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy is designed to help children with developmental delays or with conditions known for a high probability of delays. This therapy can help children improve their cognitive, physical, sensory, and motor skills as well as with play and general communication skills. At Monkey Mouths, we have specialized training for patients that are birth to 20 years old.
