Occupational therapy services can be broken up into three categories:
1. Assessment
This involves an evaluation of developmental and performance skills and how these relate to home, school and play environments reviewing progress.
2. Treatment
Providing therapy and home programs to maximize the child’s skills center or home visits and discussions with care givers/parents.
3. Consultation
This may involve the provision of written information (reports, programs), or collaborating with schools and other health professionals. Specific occupational therapy assistance may include physical rehabilitation, activity programs, use of adapted techniques, provision of aids and assistive devices, developing learning strategies and counseling.
At Children’s Occupational Therapy QLD treatment is individually designed to support children and their families to improve participation and function. Treatment sessions are usually weekly for 45 minutes. During the session your child will participate in a number of motivating and enjoyable activities that will focus on their problem areas.
