Treatment
Consultations for children in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our passion and number one goal is to help each child we see reach his or her potential despite
Physical
Cognitive
Environmental barriers Every child can learn and every child can be "reached," regardless of his or her disability. It is up to us, as adults, to guide children and nurture their innate playfulness and curiosity. It is this curiosity which drives children to explore boundaries and learn. Action Potential Therapy Services advocates treating all children with respect and fostering engagement with others and with their environments in order to motivate them to achieve their highest potential. Occupational therapy is the science and art of helping clients of all ages do the day-to-day tasks that they value, despite impairments associated with injuries, illnesses, or birth defects. Occupation, in this context, is any purposeful activity that is meaningful for a person. The ultimate goal of any OT treatment program is to maximize an individual's independence in his or her daily life. Occupational therapists provide services in many environments including
Hospitals
Clinics
Homes
Schools
Job sites Some of the performance skills addressed by occupational therapy are;
Motor skills
Perceptual and sensory processing
Cognitive skills
Psychosocial skills By addressing impairments in these general areas, occupational therapists can help clients gain greater independence in activities of daily living (ADL). For adults, ADL may include bathing and dressing or completing duties associated with their jobs. For children, ADL can include play skills (which are correlated with cognitive skills) and academic skills. An Occupational therapist is a trained health professional who must have a bachelors, masters, or doctoral degree. OT's are registered with the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy, Inc.
