Occupational Therapy
If you walk by the Occupational Therapy room at Blind Children’s Learning Center, you may see children swinging on a trapeze, bouncing on a large ball, climbing across an obstacle course, or playing in a large box of beans.
Although the children are playing and having fun, they’re also working toward developing the skills they need to successfully master their environment. By developing a mastery over their movements and knowledge of their environment, children with visual impairment will ultimately have more confidence and independence at school, home and in the community on their journey toward independent living.
Occupational therapists work with children in-home and in-center. Children are seen individually and participate in sensory-motoro groups in our large motor room filled with mats, equipment, suspended swings, tactile media, and toys. Students are learning through play.
