Paediatric Occupational Therapy
Play-based, child-centred occupational therapy that supports children to develop the skills they need for learning, playing, and growing with confidence.
Supporting Children to Thrive
Paediatric occupational therapy helps children develop the foundational skills they need to participate in everyday activities at home, school, and in the community. Our therapists use play-based, child-centred approaches that keep children engaged while building the motor, sensory, and cognitive skills that underpin learning and independence.
- Fine motor development - pencil grip, cutting with scissors, fastening buttons, and manipulating small objects
- Gross motor coordination - balance, ball skills, playground participation, and body awareness
- Handwriting support - letter formation, sizing, spacing, and building writing endurance
- Self-care skills - dressing, toileting, feeding, and personal hygiene routines
Sensory Processing and Regulation
Some children experience difficulty processing sensory information, which can affect their behaviour, attention, and ability to participate in daily activities. Our occupational therapists assess sensory processing patterns and develop strategies to help children regulate their responses and engage more comfortably with their environment.
- Sensory assessments to understand how your child processes touch, sound, movement, and visual input
- Individualised sensory diets and strategies for home and school environments
- Emotional regulation and self-calming techniques to support behaviour and attention
School Readiness and Classroom Support
Preparing for school involves more than academic learning. Our therapists help children develop the attention, organisation, and social skills needed to participate confidently in the classroom. We also collaborate with teachers and educators to create supportive learning environments. To discuss paediatric occupational therapy for your child, call us on 0450 874 303.
