OUR SERVICES

Gross motor refers to the movements and coordination of large muscles groups and whole body movements. Our Occupational Therapist can assist children with coordination delays to work towards milestones such as crawling, walking, hopping, jumping, skipping and ball skills.

As children grow they want to be more independent in looking after themselves.  See how your Occupational Therapist can increase your child's independence in completing self-care tasks such as dressing, grooming, toileting and during mealtimes.

Fine motor skills are small movements such as those performed by the hands.  They are a key factor in performance at school particularly for  handwriting.  Our Occupational Therapist can work on fine motor movements to improve the legibility, and speed of your child's handwriting.  Other fine motor tasks can include mastering scissors, managing fastenings, tying shoe laces and participating in art & craft activities.

Early Intervention can lessen the effects of disability or delays by using play to engage babies and young children towards developmental outcomes.  Our Occupational Therapist can help you track your child's developmental milestones and provide information and activities to do at home to encourage your child towards their goals.

Sensory processing refers to how we perceive, interpret and respond to stimulus from our environment.  This includes the sense of sight, smell, taste, hearing, touch, vestibular and proprioception.  When this information is not interpreted and responded to properly a child's participation in daily activities can be limited.  Our Occupational Therapist can work with you and your child to develop strategies to help them better interpret and respond to sensory information.

Play and social skills can include interacting and getting along with others, following routines within the home or school environments, taking turns, engaging with toys and participating in cooperative games.  Play and social skills are integral to learning and development and bringing meaning to life.

Development of behaviour skills can include executive functions such as the ability to attend and maintain sustained attention to a task, inhibit impulses, plan and initiate tasks, the flexibility to transition between tasks, emotional control and organisation of belongings.  These skills can effect children with the home and school environments.
