What is Occupational Therapy?
At our centre, our paediatric occupational therapists help children build the foundational skills they need for everyday life from learning and playing to taking care of themselves and participating in school. Using play-based and meaningful activities, we support children in developing confidence, independence, and the ability to thrive in their daily routines.
Our OT team works across many domains:
Fine Motor Skills
Writing, cutting, manipulating small objects.
Sensory Processing
Sensory processing and modulation support.
Executive Functioning
Organisation, attention, and planning skills.
Self-Care Skills
Dressing, feeding, and toileting independence.
Emotional Regulation
Managing feelings and building resilience.
Gross Motor Coordination
Balance, posture, and body awareness.
You may consider an OT assessment if your child
Has difficulty with handwriting or using scissors

Is overly sensitive or under-responsive to sensory input
Has trouble with balance, coordination, or motor planning
