Skills for home, school and play
We look at how your child moves, plays, learns and takes care of themselves, then set goals that make daily life easier for the whole family.
Fine motor skills
Grasp, cutting, buttons and small tools, the hand skills behind so many daily tasks.
Handwriting & school readiness
Pencil grip, letter formation, sitting and attention for classroom learning.
Sensory processing
Helping children feel calmer and more comfortable with sounds, textures, movement and busy places.
Self-care & daily living
Dressing, eating and toileting routines, step by step towards independence.
Coordination & movement
Balance, climbing, ball skills and body awareness for play and sport.
Focus & regulation
Attention, moving between activities and calming strategies that work at home and school.

Occupational therapy questions
What is the difference between OT and physiotherapy?
Occupational therapy focuses on everyday activities: hand skills, self-care, sensory processing, focus and school tasks. Physiotherapy focuses mainly on movement, strength and posture.
What is sensory processing?
It is how the brain takes in and organises information from the senses. Some children feel sounds, textures or movement more or less strongly, and OT helps them feel calmer and more comfortable.
Does my child need a diagnosis first?
No. If you have questions about your child's everyday skills, message us and we'll guide you.
Will I get activities to do at home?
Yes. Parents are guided at every step, with simple activities that fit into daily routines.
