Benefits of Occupational Therapy For Kids At Home Golden Grove
While there are many benefits your child can derive from occupational therapy for kids at home in Golden Grove, foremost among these are the following:
Specialised Care. Home-based therapy provides an opportunity for Bridging Potentials to come up with specialised care tailored to your child’s needs. When our paediatric occupational therapists (POTs) do their initial house visit, they get to see the home environment and how your child interacts with it.
Based on this observation, our POTs develop treatment plans set in your home, in consideration of the existing family dynamics and your child’s temperament. They can use your child’s favourite toys, work in their favourite room, and in some instances ask your help as a parent to motivate them to achieve their goals.
Emphasis on Parent Education. Your involvement as a parent plays a larger role in home-based care for your child. POTs can devote more time to discuss in-depth with family members involved in caring for the child not only the treatment plan to achieve the goals that have been set but also the needs and concerns of the child.
Family members and the child undergoing therapy are encouraged to continue practising the recommended activities outside of the sessions. Close monitoring of the progress of the child happens whereby the POT can discuss concerns and progress with the family and adjust the treatment plan accordingly.
Not to discount parental education in a clinical or hospital setting, parental education in home-based therapy has a larger impact as the family is the focus in the home; their support in having the patient develop, thrive, and become as independent as possible is really emphasised.
Other Advantages of In-Home Care
Safety. Safety is improved as accidents and other hazards are minimised in a familiar environment.
Comfort. Your child will be more comfortable in a familiar environment, making therapy sessions easier.
Integration. Therapy exercises can be included in the child’s daily routine even after off session which can help in developing their motor skills.
