How an Occupational Therapist supports Paediatric Participants

Occupational Therapy (OT) can support Paediatric Participants with regular sessions to engage in meaningful activities that foster development, independence, and overall well-being.

Here's how  an OT can support Participants:

Assessment and Goal Setting: OTs assess each child's abilities and interests to set personalised goals, improving skills for daily tasks like self-care and social interactions.

Sensory Integration: Addressing sensory processing issues helps children regulate responses to sensory input, enhancing participation in activities.

Fine Motor Skills: Developing handwriting, cutting, and grasping skills boosts independence in tasks like drawing and using utensils.

Gross Motor Skills: Supporting balance, coordination, and strength aids in activities such as running, jumping, and sports, building physical confidence.

With regular support Occupational Therapists empower Paediatric Participants to participate fully in meaningful activities, promoting their development, independence, and quality of life.
