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.
