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.

What can an occupational therapist help my child?
Our occupational therapists can help children to:
  • Engage meaningfully in their learning and play activities
  • Build strong social connections 
  • Regulate and manage their emotions, attention, and sensory processing
  • Fine motor tasks such as writing, typing, drawing, or using scissors 
  • Build functional life skills and use task or environmental adaptations
  • Become more confident in advocating for themselves and problem solving daily challenges
  • Increase their capacity to manage their everyday activities and self-care tasks such as eating, dressing, toileting, personal hygiene
  • Coping with changes and transitions​
