The outpatient Occupational Therapy Clinic at Kennedy Krieger Institute provides evaluation and treatment to improve clients' fine motor skills, activities of daily living (including eating, dressing, hygiene, toileting and play activities), oral motor skills and adaptive seating needs.
Our team focuses on helping clients achieve independence throughout their lives. We consult with parents, teachers, medical providers, and other community professionals to ensure our clients reach their full potential.
