An Occupational Therapist, also known as an OT, is a healthcare professional that specializes in helping clients with development challenges, participate in their everyday occupations.

MeBe’s Occupational Therapy services focus on building fundamental skills that enable children to complete daily activities, such as dressing, feeding, eating, playing, handwriting, and other necessities of childhood. Our goal is to help children learn to be more independent, joyful, and successful.
