Occupational Therapy
Develop skills for everyday activities
Our Occupational Therapists (OT’s) help your child develop skills to participate in everyday activities. We help your child to build confidence & independence to reach their potential.
Our OTs can help your child to:
- Develop self- help skills like brushing teeth, getting dressed and using the bathroom
- Improve fine motor skills to help with writing, drawing & other school ready activities
- Reach developmental milestones
- Develop social, emotional & cognitive skills by learning through play
- Manage sensory experiences
