What does a paediatric occupational therapist do?

A paediatric occupational therapist helps children develop the skills needed for everyday activities, including motor coordination, sensory processing, social interaction, and self-care tasks like dressing and feeding. Therapy sessions focus on identifying and addressing challenges that may impact a child's ability to participate in school, play, and daily life. Occupational therapists use targeted activities to support skill development, promote independence, and assist children in reaching their developmental milestones.
How do I know if my child needs occupational therapy?

If a child struggles with motor skills, coordination, sensory sensitivities, handwriting, self-care tasks, or social interaction, occupational therapy may be beneficial. Common signs include difficulty holding a pencil, avoiding certain textures, struggling with balance, or challenges in following multi-step instructions. If parents or educators notice delays or difficulties in these areas, an occupational therapy assessment can help determine if support is needed.
