Occupational
Therapy Based
Methods
Occupational Therapists
can promote the use of
appropriate home and
community programming
for play and social skills
by educating
parents/caregivers about
the different milestones
for normal development of
these skills and educate
ways for parents to use
occupation-based
interventions in home and
community settings so the
children can adapt the
normal development skills
in their natural context.
Occupational Therapists
can also set up home
programs that therapists
do during therapy so
parents can continue to
help child progress.
