What is Pediatric Occupational Therapy?

I meet so many families who don't know what occupational therapy is, but it has been recommended that their child sees an OT. Pediatric Occupational Therapists can address a lot of things! If you have any suggestions for topics I should address on my KZbin, please comment and let me know!

Is there a difference between pediatric occupational therapy and pediatric occupational therapy assistant

[@timitherapy]

Yes! Occupational therapists supervise the OT assistants. Assistants can't complete formal evaluations or create treatment plans for clients. In the U.S. to be an occupational therapist you have to receive a masters degree or clinical doctorate degree. For occupational therapy assistants, it's usually a 2-year associates degree.
