Children facing difficulties encounter daily challenges that they are unable to overcome, which often leads to feelings of frustration. Consequently, they frequently exhibit outbursts of anger, resignation, and even antisocial behavior. Occupational Therapy assists children in playing, improving their academic performance, and participating in their daily activities. By achieving a goal previously considered unattainable, Occupational Therapy not only facilitates their daily life but also enhances their self-esteem and sense of fulfillment.
