Occupational Therapy
Occupational Therapists work with children, young adults and their families to maximise development. Occupational Therapy programs work on participation in preschool, school and home activities to enhance a child’s and their family’s quality of life.

- Eating or drinking e.g. fussy eaters, limited food choices, fear of foods
- Learning e.g. remembering things, planning, problem-solving, organisation
- Self-care e.g. dressing, toileting, brushing teeth, washing, tying shoelaces
- Play and social skills
- Sensory, behavioural and emotional regulation e. g. helping to stay calm and alert to support other learning
