Our therapy is aimed at children from as young as 6 weeks up to teenagers. We work with children displaying a variety of conditions from learning difficulties and sensory processing challenges to behavioural difficulties and autism. Physical conditions such as cerebral palsy and amputation or nerve injuries are also addressed. Through holistic therapy and working closely with everyone in your child's life, we are able to make the biggest impact on their level of functioning. We communicate with the family, teachers, other doctors and other therapists to allow continuity in therapy across the board and maximum functional impact.
Our Occupational Therapists are part of a Sensory Integration based practice that uses a wide variety of techniques and therapy methods to ensure that we are able to assist you and your child to function to their optimal standards both in the classroom and at home.
We focus on the functional skills of education, personal management as well as social skills and leisure. These areas of occupation are what makes us people and allows us to function optimally and with satisfaction in our lives. Our aim is to ensure that your child is able to reach their highest potential within these functional skills.
We do this by treating the underlying areas of psychosocial and cognitive skills such as attention and perception, fine and gross motor skills and the functions involved in these, such as postural control, bilateral integration and coordination and sensory processing.
Occupational therapy is beneficial for children who have poor concentration, handwriting skills, fidgeting or have difficulty participating in gross motor or social skills on the playground. Other functional skills such as dressing, getting themselves ready in the morning and organising their work space at school are also areas we address.
Our philosophy is to ensure that your child is functioning to their optimum potential within all areas of life. We strive to focus on goal related aims. You as the parent contribute to the goal setting process and the teacher will enable us to ensure that, within the educational setting, relevant functional goals are met.
