Occupational Therapy

Our Occupational Therapists support children to become independent in everyday activities. They work closely with parents and children to carry out assessments, set goals, provide intervention and constantly review progress, to ensure ongoing development and success in daily activities.

How Can Occupational Therapy Support your Child?

Your child might benefit from Occupational Therapy if they are experiencing challenges in any of the following areas:

Fine and gross motor skills (e.g., handwriting, building blocks and other play activities, cutting, throwing and catching, riding a bike, jumping, etc)
Self-care skills (e.g., dressing / undressing, toileting, cleaning teeth, washing hands, etc)
Balance and coordination skills
Sensory processing (e.g., over sensitive or under responsive to noise, smell, taste, touch, light and/or movement)
Emotional regulation and behaviour
Skills required for participation in education settings (e.g., attention and concentration, social skills, etc)
Postural control (e.g., for safe eating)

Collaborative Approach

Our occupational therapists can also collaborate with other professionals your child is supported by. This might include other allied health professionals, medical professionals and/or education professionals. In doing this, they can make recommendations for environmental changes and adaptations that might support increased inclusion and participation, and generalisation of skills. They can also provide education to parents to further promote a child’s independence in the home environment.
