Empowering children to thrive in life’s little moments

Using fun, play-based activities, therapists support skills like coordination and movement, handwriting and other school-related skills, self-care (dressing, feeding, toileting, hygiene) and sensory processing and emotional regulation.

The goal is to make daily routines easier and more enjoyable, while building your child’s confidence and independence.

Why Getting Paediatric Occupational Therapy Matters for Your Child

Paediatric occupational therapy helps your child work towards their own goals and keep up with important developmental milestones for their age. Benefits can include, but are not limited to:

Feeling more confident and building healthy self-esteem

Becoming more independent in daily activities

Enhancing performance at school

Getting along and playing well with other children

By targeting meaningful, everyday activities, occupational therapy supports both your child’s development and your family’s daily routines.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is a paediatric occupational therapy different from the one for adults?

The primary distinction between adult and pediatric occupational therapy lies in age. While the overall goal remains consistent—helping individuals develop skills for everyday life—the specific activities differ. Children often receive therapy focused on school-related tasks to support classroom learning, whereas adults typically work on improving abilities needed for workplace adaptation.

How long will my child need paediatric occupational therapy?

The length and frequency of sessions depend on your child’s individual needs and goals. 

Will my child just be playing in sessions, and how does play help?

Sessions often look like play, but every activity is carefully chosen to build specific skills such as coordination, attention, self‑care, sensory processing or social interaction. Play is the most natural way for children to learn, so using play makes therapy engaging, effective and age‑appropriate.

How can I support my child as a parent?

You play a key role in your child’s progress. You can practise home activities suggested by the therapist and offer patience, praise and encouragement—every child learns at their own pace.
