Why is Occupational Therapy Important for Neonates?
Neonates, especially those with [neonatal disorders](), face numerous challenges that can hinder their development. Occupational therapy addresses these challenges by creating tailored interventions to promote optimal growth. This is critical for infants with conditions like [cerebral palsy](), [Down syndrome](), or who have experienced [birth asphyxia](). Early intervention through OT can significantly improve long-term outcomes by fostering better motor skills, sensory processing, and social interaction.
