Occupational Therapists evaluate and treat children with physical, emotional, and/or psychosocial needs. They assess areas such as fine motor and visual motor development, sensory processing and modulation, and executive functioning, and determine how these affect activities of daily living, rest and sleep, education, play, leisure, and social participation. Speech Language Pathologists prevent, assess, diagnose, and treat speech-language, social communication, cognitive-communication, and swallowing disorders. They evaluate and treat children with speech, language, oral motor, feeding, voice, fluency, articulation, or social communication disorders to support their highest level of functioning and prevent regression. Physical Therapists evaluate and treat children with physical, emotional, and/or psychosocial needs, including congenital and orthopedic conditions.
