The Road to Function and Recovery
The Division of Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy (OTPT) at Cincinnati Children's is among the largest in the nation, but our focus on personalized care makes us unique. We provide innovative care, using the latest research and technology to set the course of treatment for you child.
As the largest division of its kind in the United States, the Division of Occupational and Physical Therapy is a global leader in the areas of evidence-based practice, knowledge translation and improvement science related to the most effective interventions for children and adolescents.
Our staff has translated the research findings on dozens of therapy-related interventions and published results to share worldwide on the Cincinnati Children's and guideline.gov websites so that professionals, children and families around the world can benefit from our work. Treatment options range from aquatic therapy to wheelchair assessment, fitting and training.

Cincinnati Children's is actively invested in the training and education of future therapists. Our OT/PT division annually trains and mentors over 80 undergraduate and graduate students from nearly 40 universities across the country.
Our student program is committed to fostering professional competence and development of students at all levels of education. Our residency programs include the first Occupational Therapy residency program in the United States, which opened in 2012.
Within the Division of Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy, our staff has worked with patients recovering from strokes, brachial plexus surgery, brain injuries and more. And since we know families find comfort in knowing they are not alone, Cincinnati Children's launched a storytelling project that records people talking, in their own words, about how Cincinnati Children's has somehow touched their lives.
While no two patients face the same medical journey the same way, their stories of inspiration and hope may resonate with you.
