Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy can help children and adolescents of all abilities to maximise their potential. We help children with everyday tasks that are important to them. We provide children with the necessary skills and confidence to excel in the classroom, playground, and home.
Focus
Our focus is on children’s development. We are concerned with developing the underlying skills and abilities which children need to perform their everyday occupations at home and at school. We specialise in improving children’s sensory processing skills, physical development, social-emotional development and cognitive skills which may be hindering learning and development. We provide comprehensive assessments, reports and interventions.
