Adaptive Equipment

Our occupational therapist provides guidance and education on adaptive equipment to help children enhance their functional abilities. The goal of adaptive equipment is to promote participation in daily activities, which are central to a child’s sense of purpose and well-being. These daily activities, or “occupations,” encompass key tasks that children regularly engage in, such as:

Getting dressed
Tying shoelaces
Moving around the school or home environment
Playing on the playground
Eating

By using adaptive equipment, children can achieve greater participation, empowerment, and overall well-being. This equipment serves as a compensatory tool, helping children overcome challenges. Adaptive aids offer immediate, lasting improvements in function and can be used for children of all ages and abilities.

Common Adaptive Equipment in Pediatric Occupational Therapy

Dressing aids

This is not an exhaustive list, but it highlights the most commonly used tools in therapy. Our occupational therapist will provide tailored recommendations based on the child’s specific goals.

In summary, our occupational therapist offers support and advice on adaptive equipment to enhance a child’s functional abilities. These aids allow children to engage in their daily activities more independently, providing modified tools that facilitate their participation in meaningful tasks.
