a hundred years from now it will not matter what car i drove, what house i lived in or how much money i had...but that i made a difference in the life of a child

It can be seen that occupational performance, the roles it creates for a child, and the areas it can encompass are so far-reaching that an occupational therapist can work with a wide range of children of various limitations who are being cared for in an array of settings. Occupational therapy is about helping people do the day-to-day tasks that "occupy" their time, sustain themselves, and enable them to contribute to the wider community. It is these opportunities to "do", which occupational therapy provides, that prove important and meaningful to the health of people

Occupational therapists may work exclusively with individuals in a particular age group or with particular disabilities. In schools, for example, they evaluate children's abilities, recommend and provide therapy, modify classroom equipment, and help children participate as fully as possible in school programs and activities. A therapist may work with children individually, lead small groups in the classroom, consult with a teacher, or serve on a curriculum or other administrative committee. Early intervention therapy services are provided to infants and toddlers who have, or are at the risk of having, developmental delays. Occupational therapist may specialize in the care of infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, providing developmental care, addressing specific physical problems, assessing neurological function, and providing care givers with education on the care of their infant and the specific problems of a premature infant. Specific therapies may include facilitating the use of the hands, promoting skills for listening and following directions, fostering social skills, or teaching dressing and grooming skills.
