Occupational Therapy
Occupational Therapy, often referred to simply as OT, is a branch of health care that helps people of all ages who have physical, sensory, or cognitive hinderances.
McCall’s Occupational Therapy, previously known under Shine Early Intervention, provides individuals with developmental delays or disabilities, and their families, a structural foundation that fosters independence and encourages the development of their abilities.
Supporting Independence & Everyday Skills
Our skilled Occupational Therapists understand the diverse needs of people with disabilities and provide caring, practical support. We work closely with families, caregivers, and other professionals to ensure a well-rounded support system. OT sessions are interactive, hands-on, and designed to be engaging, making skill development fun and effective.

- Self-Help Skills – Encouraging independence in daily routines, such as dressing, eating, and hygiene.
- Sensory Processing – Helping individuals regulate their responses to sensory input like sounds, textures, or movement.
- Play & Social Skills – Developing communication, teamwork, and interaction abilities in social settings.
- Cognitive Skills – Enhancing memory, problem-solving, and focus to support learning and daily activities.
