Occupational Therapy

What is an occupational therapist?
Paediatric occupational therapists are health professionals who help children with their skills and participation in important areas like play, self-care, learning, emotions, and social relationships. 

Our team of occupational therapists (OTs) are dedicated to helping children and families feel confident and achieve their goals.
