Summer vacation gives kids a break from school—but it can also mean a loss of structure and missed opportunities to keep building important skills. Occupational Therapy (OT) is a fun and effective way to help children stay on track during the summer months.
How OT Helps Kids in Summer
- Fine motor skills: handwriting, buttoning, tying shoes
- Gross motor skills: climbing, swimming, running, and coordination
- Sensory integration: helping kids process sights, sounds, and textures
- Daily living skills: independence in dressing, grooming, and routines
Fun OT-Friendly Summer Activities
- Water play for sensory exploration
- Arts & crafts to build hand strength and creativity
- Playground games to develop balance and motor skills
- Swimming for coordination and confidence
Why Summer is the Perfect Time for OT
Without the stress of school, kids can focus on building skills in a playful, relaxed environment. Plus, summer OT helps them transition smoothly into the next school year.
