At Al Salam Center for Learning Disabilities, based in the UAE, our Occupational Therapy program is dedicated to helping children and young individuals develop essential life skills through therapeutic intervention. Our expert therapists use evidence-based strategies to support each child’s ability to engage in everyday activities, both at home and in school. Whether your child is struggling with fine motor coordination, sensory processing, or daily functional tasks, our program is designed to build confidence, independence, and long-term success.
When the Body Speaks
Children with developmental or learning difficulties may display signs that indicate they need occupational therapy. Some of the most common symptoms include challenges with handwriting, difficulty holding or using small objects, frequent tripping or bumping into things, trouble focusing during tasks, and sensitivity to touch, sound, or movement. You may also notice delays in your child’s ability to perform self-care activities such as dressing, eating, or brushing teeth. These behaviors often stem from underlying sensory or motor skill difficulties that occupational therapy can effectively address.
If you recognize any of these signs in your child, the first step is to book an initial consultation at Al Salam Center. Our experienced therapists will conduct a comprehensive assessment to understand your child’s unique strengths and challenges. Based on the results, we will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to target specific areas of development. Sessions are conducted in a safe, welcoming, and engaging environment, using structured play, activities, and tools that encourage learning and growth. Parents are also actively involved in the process, with guidance provided on how to support therapy goals at home.
Treatment Advantages
What makes our occupational therapy program stand out is its holistic and child-centered approach. We focus not only on the development of motor and cognitive skills, but also on the emotional and behavioral aspects of each child’s journey. Our therapy sessions are individualized and goal-oriented, ensuring measurable outcomes over time. With access to specialized facilities such as sensory rooms, fine motor stations, and adaptive learning tools, your child benefits from a supportive environment tailored to their needs. Regular progress reviews, parent consultations, and school collaboration ensure consistent support across all areas of the child’s life.
The benefits of occupational therapy go far beyond improving motor skills. Children who undergo therapy at Al Salam Center often experience significant growth in independence, social interaction, attention span, and emotional regulation. They gain the confidence to participate more fully in classroom activities, family routines, and community life. By equipping children with the tools they need to navigate their world more successfully, we lay the foundation for a more empowered and fulfilling future.
