What is Occupational Therapy?

Paediatric occupational therapy focuses on helping children develop the skills they need to grow into functional, independent adults. Physical impairment, injuries and a host of other issues can hamper a child’s ability to perform common tasks or progress normally through the stages of social, educational or cognitive development.

The longer a child goes without learning these skills, the more the problem compounds as the child ages. Occupational Therapy works on the skills that children are struggling with and this is done predominantly through play.
