Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy addresses the functional skills needed for everyday participation, identifying and working through what's getting in the way of a child managing daily tasks with confidence. It often runs alongside speech pathology, since the two areas overlap more than most families expect.

We support

• Fine and gross motor skills
• Handwriting and pencil grip
• Self-care and daily living skills (dressing, eating and other everyday tasks)
• Emotional regulation (managing and expressing big feelings)
• Sensory processing (how a child responds to sounds, textures and movement)
• Independence for teenagers and young adults
