Why Occupational Therapists in Houston with Little Eaters & Talkers Can Help Babies, Toddlers, and Children
When parents think about therapy for their child, they often picture speech therapy or physical therapy—but occupational therapy (OT) plays an equally important role in helping children thrive. At Little Eaters & Talkers in Houston, our pediatric occupational therapists work side by side with speech-language pathologists to support babies, toddlers, and children in the areas that matter most: feeding, play, sensory development, and daily routines.
Occupational Therapist help with gross and fine motor skills, such as learning to sit and crawl.
Occupational therapists help children build the skills they need for everyday life. For babies and toddlers, that may look like learning to tolerate new textures at mealtime or practicing motor skills for play. For older children, OT often supports independence with dressing, handwriting, or managing big sensory needs
