    • "As a pediatric occupational therapist at HSS I have the chance to work with some wonderful children and families each day! The guiding principle of OT is to promote independence through engagement in meaningful activities. OTs address a variety of areas depending on a child’s age and needs- from reaching developmental milestones, to working on self-help skills, finding the right position to increase access to his or her environment, using assistive technology, or regaining motion after an injury. This means my day is filled with obstacle courses, swings, games and drawing, as well as technology, splints and exercise bands! Though each child and family come for different reasons, the most rewarding part of being an OT in pediatrics is seeing each child build the skills and confidence to participate and perform to his or her full potential." In honor of National Occupational Therapy Month, please join us in recognizing our amazing pediatric OTs, such as Lauren Menino, for helping patients achieve their goals that maximize their independence and functional participation! #HospitalForSpecialSurgery #HSSKids #OTMonth
