Frequently asked questions

What is occupational therapy, and how does it benefit my child?
Occupational therapy is a therapeutic approach that helps individuals improve their ability to perform daily activities. It focuses on enhancing children’s coordination, sensory processing, emotional regulation, and social interaction skills. At SkyClimb, our skilled occupational therapists work to develop customized treatment plans that support your child’s unique needs, fostering growth and confidence.
Occupational therapy can help children with a variety of conditions, including autism, ADHD, developmental delays, learning disabilities, and sensory processing disorders (SPD). By addressing these challenges, we aim to improve daily functioning and participation in social, academic, and recreational activities.
Sensory play involves activities that stimulate a child’s senses—touch, sight, sound, taste, and smell. It is essential for healthy development as it helps children explore their environment, understand sensations, and develop cognitive skills. Sensory play encourages creativity, problem-solving, and emotional regulation, all of which are critical components of occupational therapy.

Numerous studies have demonstrated occupational therapy’s efficacy in improving children’s daily functioning, sensory processing, and social skills. Research highlights that early intervention, especially through individualized occupational therapy, can significantly improve behavior, emotional regulation, and overall quality of life for children with sensory processing challenges.
