Is your child having trouble focusing? You're not alone. Attention span can be impacted by so many things, including:

✨ Self-regulation – Is their body feeling calm and organized?
💤 Sleep – Are they well-rested and ready to engage?
🎯 Motivation – Are they interested and connected to the activity?

If your child struggles to stay on task, an occupational therapist can help identify why and build strategies to support focus, engagement, and independence at school, at home, and during play!
