Many families look for ways to help their children grow and learn, especially when they notice delays. Some may try other programs or activities, hoping for quick results. But there is no real substitute for occupational therapy.
Occupational therapists are trained to understand each childโs needs. They know how to help with movement, daily routines, play, and even handling big feelings. OTs use activities that are just right for your childโs age and needs. They also teach families how to support learning and independence at home.
Choosing occupational therapy gives children the right help at the right time. Other activities can be helpful, but only OT offers a full plan that supports every part of a childโs growth. If a child does not get the correct intervention, it will not just result in harm. It can also lead to the development of disruptive behaviors that may take weeks or even months to manage.
Research clearly shows that early and targeted occupational therapy leads to better outcomes for children with developmental challenges. When it comes to helping children reach their full potential, nothing can take the place of occupational therapy.
In the Philippines, the occupational therapy profession is regulated by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) to protect the safety and wellbeing of the public. Only those with a degree in occupational therapy and a valid PRC license can legally practice as OTs. Individuals who claim to be occupational therapists without the required education and PRC registration are violating the law and may face legal consequences. For your childโs safety and best interests, always seek help from qualified and registered occupational therapists.
