Occupational Therapy at Aar-Tas International School
Helping Children Build Independence for Everyday Life
Occupational Therapy (OT) supports children in developing the skills they need to participate confidently in daily activities at home, school, and in the community. At Aar-Tas International School, our occupational therapy programs are designed to improve independence, sensory processing, motor skills, and self-regulation in a structured and nurturing environment.
