Occupational Therapists often see children who have difficulties with ordinary daily living activities. In order to help the child gain the skills for a particular activity, we sometimes refer back to experiences which help the child develop the skill achieved. As Occupational Therapists the advice we give is practical, the suggestions in this booklet are simply ideas or ways a child could gain the skills for independence. This booklet is designed to help you focus on these experiences for children, especially if their ability to pick up these early cues is less well developed.
