Why is Occupational therapy essential for my special-needs child?

At what point does a child with special needs need to see an occupational therapist?

As early as possible. Early intervention brings quick results because when children grow older without therapy, they end up with deformities and severe pathological patterns which could have been reversed.

We will then do an assessment to determine if the condition requires a multi-disciplinary approach.
