Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between paediatric and neuro occupational therapy?

Paediatric OT focuses on helping children develop the skills needed for daily life, school, and play. Neuro OT addresses challenges caused by neurological conditions affecting the brain and nervous system. At Cadabam's CDC, Sangeetha combines both approaches — understanding the neurological basis of a child's difficulties while focusing on practical, functional skill building.

Does Sangeetha work with parents too?

Yes. Parental guidance is a core part of Sangeetha's approach. She provides parents with specific strategies, home activities, and environmental modifications that extend therapeutic progress into everyday routines. Parents are active partners in the therapy process.
