Pediatric Therapy for Developmental Delays
in Winder, GA
Occupational Therapy for Children With Developmental Delays
As a parent, it’s wonderful watching your little one become more independent. As they grow, so does their ability to dress themselves, feed themselves, and enjoy playing with their peers. It’s perfectly normal for your child to develop these skills at their own pace, but if their development slows or stalls, they may benefit from extra support from a pediatric occupational therapist (OT).
At Let’s Communicate Pediatric Therapy Services, we help your child strengthen the skills they need to become more independent, confident, and comfortable with everyday routines.
What Are Developmental Delays?
Pediatric therapists use milestones, which are typical age ranges when children learn skills like rolling over, crawling, or feeding themselves, to track your child’s development. If your child is consistently not reaching a milestone, it may be a sign of a developmental delay.
Because developmental skills build on each other, such as scribbling before writing, a delay in one area can sometimes affect progress in others. Early support from an OT can help get your child’s progress back on track so they can continue to grow and thrive.
Signs Your Child May Have Developmental Delays
If your child is struggling with key developmental skills, you may notice difficulties with:
- Motor skills: experiencing delays in crawling, walking, running, climbing, or using utensils
- Sensory sensitivities: having strong reactions to certain textures, sounds, or lights, or craving extra sensory input like spinning or jumping
- Self-care skills: needing extra help with dressing, bathing, feeding, or other daily routines
- Play and focus: avoiding group play, struggling to stay engaged in one activity, or having trouble following directions and staying on task
How OT Helps Your Child With Developmental Delays
At Let’s Communicate, an OT begins with an evaluation to understand your child’s specific needs. We then create a personalized therapy plan that uses fun, play-based activities to build coordination, balance, fine-motor control, and self-care skills.
We also partner with parents to share at-home strategies so progress continues between visits. By strengthening these foundations of independence, occupational therapy helps your child gain confidence, develop essential life skills, and succeed in their daily routines.
