Occupational therapy is a healthcare service that helps people of all ages regain or improve their ability to perform the everyday activities (occupations) necessary for their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It helps individuals overcome challenges from physical injuries, mental health conditions, or developmental delays by creating personalized plans and adaptations to their environment or tasks to promote independence and improve their quality of life.
Our paediatric occupational therapist works to help children meet their sensory needs, motor development goals, and gain independence.
Generally, appointments may consist of activities that work on :
- Motor planning
- Regulation and sensory processing
- Self-care routines
- Fine and visual motor skills
- Handwriting
- Play skills
- School readiness
*Guardian participation is crucial
