About this listen
In this episode of In Session, we’re exploring pediatric occupational therapy for older children and how OT supports the skills kids need to succeed at school, at home, and in everyday life. Join Westside’s Director of Occupational Therapy, Alyssa Sanders, OTR/L, and Director of Occupational Therapy, Ali McCarrell, MOT, OTR/L, as they discuss how OT helps children strengthen executive functioning, emotional regulation, sensory processing, and independence.
From improving handwriting and classroom participation to managing sensory challenges, daily routines, and social demands, this episode breaks down what occupational therapy looks like for school-age kids—and how it adapts as children grow.
Learn how occupational therapy empowers older kids to build confidence, navigate challenges, and engage more fully in their environments as expectations increase and independence becomes key.
