Our Occupational Therapists provide comprehensive standardized assessments and clinical observations in the initial consultation with your child.
Treatment is then tailored towards any areas that are identified as impacting on the child’s ability to function to their full potential and participate. Our evidence based interventions will help your child develop in all areas of daily living.
Once your child has commenced therapy, goals will be reassessed during the course of treatment to see that chosen interventions are effective. Parents, teachers, other therapists and the child are involved in the re-evaluation of goals and interventions.
With intervention your child can expect to gain improvements in the following areas:
- attention & focus
- self-regulation with responses being better matched to their environment
- postural Control
- praxis (motor planning), balance & coordination
- fine motor skills
- “evenness” or more regulated emotional & behavioural responses
- oral motor control and improved eating habits
- increased engagement, interaction and development of play skills
- improved visual motor integration skills
- improved sleep patterns
- increased learning opportunities
- improved self-esteem
