Occupational Therapy
Occupational Therapy
Occupational Therapy supports individuals to take part in everyday activities that are meaningful to them across home, school, work and community settings. Therapy focuses on building independence and confidence in daily routines such as self-care, learning, play, work tasks and leisure activities.
Intervention is person-centred and goal-focused, developed in collaboration with clients, families and support networks to ensure therapy aligns with individual needs and priorities.
OTs work across the lifespan, providing early intervention and school readiness support for children, as well as services for adolescents and adults aimed at increasing independence, community involvement, education and employment participation.
Therapy may be delivered in natural environments such as the home, school or community, as well as through telehealth, to help skills transfer into everyday life.
Occupational Therapists complete assessments to understand functional abilities, motor skills, sensory needs and daily challenges, using this information to guide tailored therapy plans.
Areas of Support May Include:
- Development of self-care and daily living skills
- Building fine and gross motor skills for tasks such as handwriting and movement
- Supporting sensory processing and emotional regulation
- Strengthening planning, organisation and problem-solving skills
- Developing life skills such as cooking, safety awareness and technology use
Encouraging social participation and community engagement
Occupational Therapy for Kids
Fine Motor Skills
We help children strengthen hand and finger control so they can confidently use everyday items such as pencils, scissors, cutlery and clothing fasteners during play, learning and self-care.
Gross Motor Skills
Support focuses on whole-body movement, balance and coordination to help children sit, move, climb, dress and participate in active play such as throwing, catching and kicking.
Handwriting Skills
Therapy supports the development of efficient and legible writing by improving hand control, visual coordination and letter formation, helping children express their ideas more easily in written tasks.
Emotional Regulation
We support children to recognise their feelings and develop strategies to manage emotions, cope with frustration, and respond calmly during challenging or overwhelming situations.
Self-Care Skills
Children are supported to build independence in daily routines such as dressing, toileting, bathing, eating and personal hygiene, progressing at a pace that suits their development.
Feeding Support
OTs assist children who experience challenges with eating by exploring barriers, building positive mealtime experiences and gradually increasing food variety, while working closely with families and other professionals when needed.
Executive Functioning
