The main aim of Occupational Therapy is to increase the participation and quality of performance of specific functional tasks. The outcome of treatment varies depending on the individual child, however, benefits may include include:
- Greater independence in age appropriate tasks, such as washing or dressing

- Widening the range of meaningful activities your child is able to engage in
- Greater social participation and play skills
- For older children, greater independence in more complex activities such as homework planning or money management

OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY WHEN DONE WITH HOMOEOPATHY MAKES A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE!
- Problems in Gross Motor Skills– Difficulty in jumping, hopping, one leg standing catching & throwing ball, cycling, Easily fatigued during play,Avoids group games,Losses balance easily & frequent falls,Clumsy & drops objects from hands
–Occupational therapy when done with Homoeopathic treatment improves the gross motor skills. We have seen the rate and speed of improvement in many children who was taking Homoeopathy along with occupational therapy compared to the children taking only occupational therapy. Homoeopathy enhances the process and makes the work easier for the therapist.
- Problems in Fine motor Skills-Difficulty in daily activities like buttoning, tying shoe lace,Inappropriate handwriting – poor pencil grasp, less pressure while writing,Weak hand grasp,Difficulty in manipulating objects in hand,Difficulty in cutting with scissors, eating with spoon.
–Occupational therapy with Homoeopathy enhances the fine motor skills. We have seen children who were previously not able to button, poor handwriting, improved significantly after starting homoeopathy with occupational therapy.
- Problems in Oral Motor Skills– Difficulty in chewing, sucking and blowing,Oral hypo/hyper sensitivity.
Occupational therapy with homoeopathy increases the oral motor.Many children with cerebral palsy suffer from difficulty , sucking, as a result of hypotonia leading to drooling of saliva. Under occupational equipment like chewy and Homoeopathy improves significantly all the above mentioned complaint.
Some autistic children and cerebral palsy children present with hypo or hyper sensitivity of oral leading behaviours like Self biting, biting others etc. Homoeopathy has a command over the altered sensitivity. Homoeopathy brings back the sensitivity to normalcy and prevents self biting.
