The transition from home to school can be challenging for children with developmental delays or disabilities. Occupational therapy (OT) plays a vital role in preparing children for the school environment by helping them develop the necessary skills to succeed in the classroom.

Research Insight:

Research by Koh et al. (2008) found that “children who receive occupational therapy interventions before and during school transitions show increased success in adapting to classroom routines and expectations, enhancing both their academic and social experiences.”

How Superstars Helps:

At Superstars, our OT therapists prepare children for school by addressing the sensory, motor, and social challenges they may encounter. We work on skills like fine motor development for writing, self-regulation techniques for maintaining focus, and social skills for interacting with peers. Our goal is to ensure that children have the tools they need for a smooth transition into the classroom environment.
