Occupational therapy for developmental delay typically focuses on building independence in daily tasks and improving foundational skills. Common interventions listed by clinics in this area include fine-motor exercises such as threading, scissor work, and pencil grip activities to support writing readiness; sensory-based activities like play with textured materials or movement on therapy equipment to develop body awareness and coordination; and structured play activities that encourage problem-solving and social participation.
