The Occupational Therapy Department supports children with special needs to develop the functional, sensory, self-care and learning skills needed to participate effectively in education and daily life. In a special education setting, learning is not only academic. Children may struggle with fine motor skills, posture, balance, sensory processing, or day-to-day tasks like holding a pencil or managing personal care. Occupational therapists identify these challenges and design individualized interventions to help each child reach their functional potential. This may include activities to develop hand-eye coordination, handwriting readiness, safe mobility, or self-care routines such as eating or dressing. The department works closely with special educators, physiotherapists, speech therapists, psychologists, parents, and other professionals to create a more accessible and supportive learning environment. It also contributes to the professional education and practical training of students in rehabilitation principles. By integrating occupational therapy into special education, the institution ensures children can participate, learn, and engage more fully in both school and community life.
