Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy helps children with developmental challenges or disabilities improve their quality of life. Our occupational therapists design personalised, fun and goal-oriented activities to help children develop essential skills for daily life at home, school, and in the community.
Therapy focuses on the following areas:
Fine Motor Skills: Using small muscles for handwriting, using utensils, and developing pincer grasps
Gross Motor Skills: Large muscle movements for sitting, walking, jumping, and balancing
Sensory Processing: Helping children respond appropriately to touch, sounds, sights, and movement
Activities of Daily Living: Developing skills needed for feeding, dressing, toileting, and personal hygiene
Play & Social Skills: Learning to share, take turns, and interact with other children.
School Readiness: Improving focus, attention, organisation, and pre-writing skills
Emotional Regulation: Supporting children in managing emotions, attention, and behaviour
