What Is Paediatric Occupational Therapy?

Paediatric Occupational Therapy has a focus on specific children displaying various developmental delays which may, or may not have a diagnosis. We help children build skills in the area of self-care, school and play.  We aim to understand each child and their unique family dynamics, building resilience and capacity to engage in everyday activities.
