Occupational Therapy (OT)
Some children find the everyday hard — holding a pencil, managing buttons, sitting still, or coping with noise, textures and messy hands. Occupational therapy can help your child build the fine-motor, sensory and self-regulation skills that make daily life — at home, at school and at play — feel more possible. We start by understanding how your child experiences the world, then turn the tricky bits into achievable, playful steps. For children with autism or ADHD, OT supports sensory needs and independence alongside the rest of your child's care team.
