How OT helps

Building the
foundations

Occupational therapy helps children develop the skills behind everyday activities — playing, learning, getting dressed and making friends. Sessions are play-based, tailored to your child, and focused on real progress — in our sensory gym clinic or at school.

Gross Motor

Running, jumping, climbing and balance — the big-body movements kids need for play and sports.

Strength

Core and upper-body strength that supports posture, endurance and sitting comfortably in class.

Coordination

Getting both sides of the body working together for catching, skipping, riding a bike and more.

Fine Motor

Hand and finger control for buttons, zippers, utensils, scissors and building with small pieces.

Handwriting

Pencil grip, letter formation, spacing and speed so writing feels easier and more legible.

Sensory Regulation

Helping children who are overwhelmed by — or seek out — noise, touch, movement and busy places.

Visual Perception

Making sense of what the eyes see: copying from the board, puzzles, reading and spatial skills.

Reflex Integration

Addressing retained primitive reflexes that can affect posture, coordination and attention.

Developmental Milestones

Supporting young children in reaching the motor and self-care milestones for their age.
