Belong Health

Paediatric Occupational therapy services

Occupational Therapy: Daily activities are our therapy.

OT’s help children and their families to develop their skills in the areas of self-care, social
behaviours, school and play, helping them to participate to the best of their ability in their daily lives. This is achieved by working collaboratively with health professionals, families, teachers and education providers to support the child’s development in all of their environments. Our focus is client and family centred programming with empowerment and education provided every step of the way.

Our Occupational Therapists and Therapy Assistants help children to develop their play, self-care, learning and independence skills, improving their functional skills, their ability to participate in their daily lives and improving their quality of life.

Paediatric Occupational Therapy FAQs
General FAQs
Q: What is Paediatric Occupational Therapy?
A: Paediatric Occupational Therapy helps children develop the skills they need for daily activities such as play, self-care, school, and social interactions. Paediatric Occupational Therapists work with children to improve their motor skills, sensory processing, social skills, and overall independence.
Q: How do I know if my child needs Occupational Therapy?
A: Signs your child may benefit from OT include difficulty with fine or gross motor skills, sensory sensitivities, challenges in social interactions, problems with self-care tasks, and academic struggles. If you notice any of these issues, a consultation with an OT can provide further guidance.
Q: What should I expect during an OT assessment?
A: During an OT assessment, the therapist will observe your child’s abilities in various areas such as motor skills, sensory processing, and daily activities. They may use standardised tests, questionnaires, and direct observation to gather information and create a tailored intervention plan.
