When you think of Speech Therapy (ST) and Occupational Therapy (OT), you might imagine two very different worlds. Speech therapists work with language, communication, swallowing, and social skills, while occupational therapists focus on fine motor skills, daily activities, and body awareness. But did you know these two therapies can overlap in surprising and helpful ways? Kids working with both therapies may be focusing on similar goals but achieving them in different ways, with each therapy providing a unique perspective and approach to help the child succeed.
