What are the Top Benefits of Pediatric Occupational Therapy?

Pediatric occupational therapy offers numerous benefits for children's development and overall well-being. Here are some of the top benefits:

Enhances fine motor skills: Occupational therapy helps children develop and refine their fine motor skills, such as grasping, handwriting, using utensils, tying shoelaces, and manipulating small objects. These skills are crucial for daily activities and academic success.

Improves gross motor skills: Pediatric occupational therapy addresses gross motor skills like balance, coordination, strength, and body awareness. Children can enhance their physical abilities and participate in sports and recreational activities by engaging in activities like running, jumping, climbing, and throwing.

Promotes sensory integration: Occupational therapists work to address sensory processing issues in children. They help children regulate their responses to sensory stimuli like touch, sound, and movement. This enables children to engage more effectively in their environments and manage sensory challenges that may impact their behavior and attention.

Life consists of meaningful everyday activities, such as preparing meals, running errands, or engaging in hobbies. Occupations are also part of life and define who we are and bring meaning to life. When we cannot participate in these activities due to illness, disability, or injury, home health care and occupational therapy can find solutions to help improve our lives and help us engage in these activities.

What do Occupational therapists do?

Occupational therapy is a type of healthcare service that helps people perform everyday activities, such as self-care, work, and leisure, with greater ease and satisfaction. Occupational therapists work with people of all ages who have conditions that affect their ability to perform everyday activities, including physical, mental, and developmental conditions. The goal of occupational therapy is to promote health and well-being by enabling people to participate in the activities they value most.

Occupational therapists work with individuals to help them participate in the activities of daily life (occupations) that are meaningful to them. They use a variety of interventions, such as exercise, adaptive equipment, and modifying the environment, to help people overcome barriers to participation. Occupational therapists evaluate their clients' abilities, needs, and goals, and develop personalized treatment plans to help them improve their skills and achieve their objectives. This can include working with children with developmental delays, helping people recover from injuries or disabilities, and assisting older adults with age-related conditions. Occupational therapists also work closely with other healthcare professionals, families, and caregivers to ensure that their clients receive comprehensive and coordinated care.

Where do Occupational Therapists work?

Occupational therapists work in a variety of settings, including:

Hospitals: Occupational therapists may work in inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation departments, helping patients recover from injuries, surgeries, or illnesses.

Schools: Occupational therapists may work in schools to help children with developmental delays or disabilities participate in educational and play activities.

Long-term care facilities: Occupational therapists may work in nursing homes or assisted living facilities, helping older adults with daily activities such as dressing, eating, and bathing.

Outpatient clinics: Occupational therapists may work in private practices, community health centers, or rehabilitation clinics, providing therapy on an outpatient basis.

Home health: Occupational therapists may make home visits to provide therapy and make recommendations for adaptations that will improve safety and independence.

Industry and workplace: Occupational therapists may work in industrial settings to help employees perform their job duties more effectively and prevent workplace injuries.

Research and academia: Occupational therapists may conduct research, teach, and provide clinical supervision in academic settings.

Examples of Occupational Therapist roles

Here are some common roles and responsibilities of occupational therapists:

Assessing and evaluating clients: Occupational therapists perform comprehensive evaluations to assess clients' abilities, needs, and goals.

Developing treatment plans: Occupational therapists create personalized treatment plans based on clients' evaluations, taking into consideration their individual needs, goals, and challenges.

Implementing therapy: Occupational therapists use a variety of interventions, such as exercise, adaptive equipment, and environmental modifications, to help clients improve their skills and achieve their goals.

Monitoring progress: Occupational therapists regularly assess and track their clients' progress, making adjustments to treatment plans as needed.

Educating clients, families, and caregivers: Occupational therapists provide education and support to clients, families, and caregivers, teaching them how to use adaptive equipment, perform exercises, and make modifications to the environment.

Collaborating with other healthcare professionals: Occupational therapists work with other healthcare professionals, such as physicians, physical therapists, and speech therapists, to ensure that clients receive comprehensive and coordinated care.

Advocating for clients: Occupational therapists serve as advocates for their clients, working with schools, employers, and insurance companies to ensure that their client's needs are met and their rights are protected.

Staying current with best practices: Occupational therapists regularly participate in continuing education and professional development to stay current with best practices and emerging trends in the field.

i would like to see more permanent brain damage in whump please and thank you.

and not just traumatic head injuries, though they are fun, but also shit like hypoxia. you know how much fun you can have with that? like, maybe your whumpee drowns and is fully dead for a hot second, and there’s just. no air inside them for a while. they come to after someone saves their life and they’re just hacking and coughing and spluttering and desperately trying to suck down air, you know the drill. or maybe they get shot, in the liver or something, and they just won’t stop bleeding. when they eventually do, they’ve lost so much blood that they’re on death’s door, and there’s a race to get them a blood transfusion before it’s too late. the team manages, but only just, and whumpee’s brain has been deprived of oxygen for so long that when they eventually wake up, they’re so confused, and weak, and scared. fun stuff, right?

and then you have the brain damage. there is so much fucking potential here for whumpy recovery shit. maybe they can’t talk anymore, maybe they can’t understand people anymore, maybe they can’t move properly anymore, maybe they become a different person entirely, a la phineas gage. and they don’t know what to do. their entire life has just been permanently altered, their fucking brain is different now. they lash out more, they wished they didn’t but they can’t help it. or maybe they just become apathetic, and they can’t feel any emotions strongly so they’re just left with this dull, droning sense of guilt for being such a dick. maybe they start crying every now and then, and they don’t really know why, they just feel so fucking sad. maybe they get consumed by this dreadful feeling of isolation, unable to communicate with their friends like they used to.

and then the team has to try and rehabilitate them.

[bbutterflies]

this is his true calling and I cannot be convinced otherwise

[stellar-haikyuu]

honestly, what cemented ennoshita as my top fave hq character was that he became a physical therapist.

initially, i loved him a lot because his story of running away but coming back to face it all resonated with me. also he's really cute hehe. however, i have a lot of love for allied health/rehab professionals and what they do. it's not easy, despite what some people may think.

for context, i'm a speech-language pathology student. i frequently meet other physical therapy and occupational therapy students, and i really respect what they do (physical therapists, in particular, because i still struggle to wrap my head around all the kinds of things under their scope).

so, when i saw "ennoshita chikara (22) physical therapist" i downright screamed in joy at the allied health representation, and how fitting it is for ennoshita to be in that field.

"ah, he's pretty dedicated to his job, huh?" I KNOW IT'S JUST ONE LINE BUT 😭 i admire service-oriented people driven by genuine love, and ennoshita is just THAT. to him, it's not being flashy or getting something in return. he will stay committed and do his best to be reliable.

furthermore, ennoshita is amazing at reading and understanding people. that is such an important trait to have when interacting with clients. all disabilities greatly impact one's life; the last thing anyone needs is a dismissive and inconsiderate care provider.

it makes me so happy that he ends up here. all his strengths and growth as a high school volleyball player translated well into his future occupation.

also, it's so sweet to see that there are opportunities for him to reconnect with his love for volleyball, despite no longer being a player. the captain in him definitely comes out when talking to clients involved in sports!

anyway, thank you furudate-sensei for ennoshita chikara (22) physical therapist.
