“My child is late in achieving her milestones. Can an occupational therapist help?”
My daughter is 9 months old and has still not started standing up. She has been late in achieving all her milestones. Can an occupational therapist help in this case?

The cause of lateness in achieving milestones could be from many, many factors. An OT can absolutely help problem-solve and encourage achievement of milestones for best possible development. Seek out an OT with experience in this field.
Yes, an occupational therapist can help. An OT can evaluate your child and then provide a treatment program to help child with motor, cognitive, self care, etc., skills so as to reach developmental milestones. A physical therapist can specifically help with mobility.
