Occupational Therapy for Children 

Helping children succeed

At OT Kids, we want all children to succeed and live happy, fulfilled lives! We acknowledge all children are different and we endeavour to embrace their differences as we work together.

ABOUT US

What is Occupational therapy?

Occupational Therapy assists children in participation in their daily occupations. Common occupations for children include playing, learning, socialising, eating and sleeping. An OT will assist in identifying difficulties in foundation skills that are impacting a child’s ability to engage in their daily occupations. They will then develop a plan to work with a child and their support network (including carers and educators) to strengthen their skills, or make modifications for the child to achieve success.

  • Fine Motor Skills (strength, coordination, visual motor integration)
  • Gross Motor Skills; including coordination, strength, balance, spatial awareness, planning and sequencing)
  • Sensory Processing
