Our Occupational Therapy team help children with any difficulties or challenges that affects the ability to perform everyday activities.

A child’s “occupation” centres around play and learning.

Our Occupational Therapists can provide services within the clinic, kinder, school, home and community environments.

We can assist with:

• Helping children achieve their developmental milestones such as fine and gross motor skills and hand-eye coordination to help with play, school or independent skills (e.g throwing a ball, getting dressed, holding a pen or utensil)
• Educating and involving parents, carers and others to facilitate the development and learning of children
• Helping children with developmental delays to learn the skills required for everyday tasks (such as bathing, getting dressed, brushing their teeth, and feeding themselves)
• Helping children with behavioural difficulties maintain supported behaviours in all environments (e.g., instead of hitting others or acting out, using positive ways to deal with anger, such as writing about feelings or participating in a physical activity)

We also work with children with emotional and arousal regulation difficulties, anxiety and life transitions (e.g. starting Prep and Secondary School).
