Hi Friends,

In this episode, Aaron, an occupational therapist and clinic regional director, explains activities of daily living (ADLs) for children—why skills like dressing, toothbrushing, and tying shoes matter, common challenges (attention, sequencing, sensory issues), and real clinic examples of learning and relearning skills.

He shares practical strategies such as creating visual schedules with the child, discusses which diagnoses often affect ADLs (autism, ADHD, cerebral palsy, stroke), and offers guidance on milestones and when to seek an OT evaluation.

If you feel like your child may be behind in some of their activities of daily living reach out to us for an evaluation. Also don't forget to check out Aarones course as well as his most recent blog post all about Activities of Daily Living.

Sincerely,

Your Friends At Ability Innovations
