Vocational Therapy

What is Vocational Therapy

Vocational therapy focuses on teaching children practical skills needed for future employment and daily tasks. It offers hands-on training in various technical areas, helping children develop job-related abilities and prepare for independence. Through tailored activities, including skills like crafting, computer use, and more advanced mechanical and hands-on trades, vocational therapy aims to equip children with the tools they need for a successful and fulfilling future.

How does it work?

This form of therapy involves personalised training sessions where children learn specific skills that will aid them in their future careers and daily lives. Our therapists take up activities like making envelopes, tailoring, and using computers, along with more advanced skills like carpentry and baking. The therapy supports children in applying these skills in real-world scenarios, helping them build confidence and prepare for various job roles. Families receive guidance to reinforce these skills at home as well, promoting greater independence.
