Overview
Occupational therapy helps children develop the skills they need for daily activities — from holding a pencil and using cutlery to dressing, playing and self-regulation. Our occupational therapists focus on the 'occupations' of childhood: learning, playing and growing.
Using purposeful, motivating activities, we strengthen fine and gross motor control, hand-eye coordination, sensory processing and attention, so your child can thrive at home, in school and with friends.
