Occupational Therapy (OT) offers crucial support that enables children to effectively engage and function independently in their daily environments, whether at home, school, or with peers and family members.

Occupational Therapy plays a fundamental role in fostering children’s functional independence. It equips them with the skills necessary to excel in their daily “occupations,” including play, learning, and social interaction.

At Sensational Kids, our exceptional team of occupational therapists is dedicated to helping your child acquire these essential skills for full participation in daily life activities.

Research underscores the significance of timely intervention in improving outcomes for children of all abilities. With our team’s support in a fun and play-based environment, your child will grow and gain confidence.

Our occupational therapists at Sensational Kids take a holistic, child- and family-centered approach to therapy. We believe that establishing strong therapeutic relationships is the cornerstone of a child’s successful therapeutic journey.

To enhance our understanding and ensure comprehensive therapeutic support, our occupational therapists may collaborate with schools, teachers, other therapists, and doctors as needed.

Who Can Benefit from Occupational Therapy?

Occupational Therapy supports children and adolescents with additional needs to realise their maximum potential through therapeutic intervention. We aid in the development of specific skills and underlying developmental components, such as sensory, gross motor, fine motor, cognitive, and social skills, to ensure that children attain their highest level of functional independence in everyday activities:

• At home (e.g., eating, dressing, toileting)
• At preschool (e.g., drawing, cutting, colouring, playing)
• At school (e.g., handwriting, maintaining posture at the desk, focus and concentration, task organization)
• In social situations.

If you’d like further information or have specific questions about our Occupational Therapy services, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re here to support your child’s journey toward reaching their full potential.
