WHAT IS PAEDIATRIC OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY?

Paediatric Occupational Therapy focuses on supporting children from all ages regarding all their different needs.  It improves children’s ability to participate in activities of daily living (ADL’s) by identifying the challenges they face.

Our goal is to enhance their abilities and functioning in essential areas such as learning, writing, fine and gross motor skills, self-care, life-skills and in the processing of information.

We want to empower your child to lead a joyful, fulfilled and independent life, encouraging them to take pride in their work and strive for to reach their full potential.

Together, we will work with you to establish goals that are reached through fun and meaningful selected activities.

We customize therapy with a variety of activities that address your child’s needs in order to facilitate progress and the best possible results.

Various developmental challenges stemming from diagnosed conditions, environmental factors, and biological influences can adversely affect children as they grow and develop.

Children may occasionally lag behind their peers in reaching developmental milestones, which can lead to challenges in areas like handwriting, concentration in class, and following instructions. This can understandably cause concern for parents and teachers. Our skilled and experienced therapist/s are here to address these worries through thorough assessments, interventions and support.
