Occupational Therapy

What is occupational therapy?

This branch of therapy focuses on developing essential motor and sensory skills for independence. Therapists collaborate with families, using play-based approaches to enhance decision-making and problem-solving. By addressing practical tasks and using assistive technology, it aims to improve the quality of daily life and foster independence.

How does it work?

• STEP 1: A thorough and individualised assessment is made of the child’s existing motor and sensory skills.
• STEP 2: Therapists prepare a plan using play-based and practical activities to improve decision-making, problem-solving, and daily life activities.
• STEP 3: Assistive technology, family support and other practices are incorporated to promote independence in everyday life.
• STEP 4: The goal is to teach the child ways to complete tasks and break daily routines down into smaller, easier steps.
