Summary
In this episode, I explore how occupational therapy can support children with ADHD, especially in managing impulse control. I share insights on how OTs assess and tailor interventions to help kids participate fully in their daily occupations and develop lifelong self-regulation skills.

How OT helps with developmental milestones
Occupations and barriers for children with ADHD
Top-down and bottom-up OT strategies
Environmental modifications and sensory needs
Building impulse control through games and self-awareness
takeaways
OT can help children participate in daily activities by reducing barriers.
Occupational therapy focuses on the things that occupy a child's time, not just jobs.
OT strategies include environmental modifications, sensory regulation, and self-awareness.
Games like red light, green light, and freeze dance help develop impulse control.
Understanding sensory triggers and interoception is key to self-regulation.
