Occupational Therapy for Children in Tolichowki, Hyderabad

At Blessings Child Development Centre, our Paediatric Occupational Therapy programme is designed to help children develop the essential motor, sensory, cognitive, behavioural, and daily living skills they need to participate successfully in everyday activities. Led by Dr. Rajita Akula, an experienced Paediatric Occupational Therapist, our approach focuses on improving independence, confidence, behaviour, and overall developmental functioning through structured, evidence-based therapy.
