What are the signs a child may need occupational therapy?

A child may need occupational therapy if they struggle with activities like writing, holding utensils, balancing, dressing, or coping with sensory input (e.g., loud noises or certain textures). Other signs include difficulty socialising with peers, frustration with fine motor tasks, or delays in meeting developmental milestones. Occupational therapy helps address these issues to improve the child’s quality of life.
How often should a child attend occupational therapy?

The frequency of therapy sessions varies depending on the child’s specific needs, developmental goals, and progress. Most children attend therapy once or twice a week, but this can be adjusted. The therapist will work closely with families to create a schedule that balances therapy with other commitments, like school and home activities.
