Welcome! You Can Change a Child's Future

At Shriners Children’s, we believe every child deserves the chance to live a full, confident, and independent life. The path to that future is paved by our dedicated Occupational Therapy (OT) department. strategies.

Occupational therapy is often misunderstood—it's so much more than job training! OTs focus on helping children master the "occupations" that fill their day and define their world:

💖 Why Your Donation is So Critical

The children we serve often have complex medical needs, requiring highly specialized skills and equipment. Your support for our OT department is an investment in tangible, life-changing possibilities.

Funding Cutting-Edge Adaptive Equipment

Investing in Therapist Expertise

Graduate school provides the foundation, but specialized pediatric care demands more. Your donations fund essential continuing education so our OTs can master critical, real-world skills like:

  • Creating complex, personalized splints.
  • Teaching specialized adaptive strategies (e.g., how to manage hair or clothing with limb differences).
  • Staying ahead of the curve in therapy techniques for spinal cord injuries, cerebral palsy, and pediatric stroke.

When you invest in our therapists, you invest directly in the highest quality of care for our patients.
