Our occupational therapists help children understand and work with their bodies so they can perform the basic life skills and the tasks required of them at school. Foundation skills such as handwriting, cutting, tying shoe laces, sitting still, movement and sports, copying things down from the blackboard allows your child get the most they can from their learning environment.
A comprehensive assessment is an important first step in understanding a child’s current ability. Areas assessed include: fine and gross motor skills, visual perception, hand preference, handwriting, scissor skills and sensory processing. Screening tests are also available to provide a quick and effective way of identifying children who may be at risk. Special Provisions Assessments are available to assist schools in special provisions applications for children at exam times.
Individual therapy sessions are provided in 30 minute sessions. Occupational therapists use specialist strategies and programs adapted to the individual needs of the child.
We understand that every child is unique with different strengths and difficulties and that each family has their own set of challenges and goals. We tailor the best possible program for each child and offer families access to a caring and committed team of highly qualified experts across therapy, teaching and psychology.
