Occupational Therapy and Rehabilitation Centre in Palakkad
At Gratus Kids, we help children develop the sensory, motor, self-care, and daily living skills they need to participate confidently at home, in school, and in everyday life, while supporting families throughout their child's journey.
Occupational Therapy for Children
Occupational Therapy (OT) helps children develop the skills they need for the everyday "occupations" of childhood, including playing, learning, dressing, eating, handwriting, and interacting with others. It supports children with developmental delays, sensory, communication, learning, behavioural, physical, and social challenges, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, Speech Delay, Learning Disabilities, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, Sensory Processing Difficulties, and other developmental or functional needs to participate more confidently and independently in everyday life.
