Occupational Therapy at Atmore Community Hospital for Pediatrics to Geriatrics

Occupational therapy is the only profession that helps people across the lifespan to do the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of daily activities (occupations). Occupational therapy practitioners enable people of all ages to live life to its fullest by helping them promote health, and prevent--or live better with--injury, illness, or disability.

Pediatric Occupational Therapy:
A comprehensive evaluation will be performed and client-centered treatment plans will be developed to help your child reach his or her potential. The therapist will work to prevent, develop, improve, sustain, or restore the child's abilities and skills that allow him or her to perform meaningful daily activities and routines. The therapist will collaborate with families and other medical professionals who work closely with your child to ensure a well-rounded team approach to client care. In addition to helping your child meet his or her fine motor, self-care, and handwriting milestones, the therapist can provide sensory integration therapy, feeding therapy, and visual-motor therapy.

Types of Disorders:

Speech disorders occur when a person has difficulty producing speech sounds correctly or fluently (e.g., stuttering is a form of disfluency) or has problems with his or her voice or resonance.

Language disorders occur when a person has difficulty understanding others (receptive language), or sharing thoughts, ideas, and feelings (expressive language). Language disorders may be spoken or written and may involve the form (phonology, morphology, syntax), content (semantics), and/or use (pragmatics) of language in functional and socially appropriate ways.

Social communication disorders occur when a person has trouble with the social use of verbal and nonverbal communication. These disorders may include problems:

(a) Communicating for social purposes (e.g., greeting, commenting, asking questions)

(b) Talking in different ways to suit the listener and setting

(c) Following rules for conversation and story-telling

All individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have social communication difficulties. Social communication disorders are also found in individuals with other conditions, such as Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).

Cognitive-communication disorders include problems with organizing thoughts, paying attention, remembering, planning, and/or problem solving. These disorders usually happen as a result of a stroke, traumatic brain injury, or dementia, although they can be congenital.

Swallowing disorders (dysphagia) are feeding and swallowing difficulties, which may follow an illness, surgery, stroke, or injury.
