What Is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational therapy (OT) helps children and individuals build the skills they need for everyday activities, from playing and learning to dressing, eating, and taking part at home, at school, and in the community. OT looks at how a person’s body, senses, thinking, and environment work together, and finds practical ways to support participation and independence.
Our occupational therapy sessions use play-based, hands-on activities built around your child’s strengths, interests, and goals, adapting tasks and environments where needed. Every plan is individually designed, not a one-size-fits-all program, and we work as partners with your family.
Play-Based, Hands-On Therapy
Sessions are built around your child’s interests, so practicing new skills feels like play, not work.
Sensory-Informed Support
We look at how your child responds to sound, touch, movement, and other sensory input, and build strategies that help them feel calm, focused, and ready to learn.
Independence Every Day
The goal is practical progress in everyday life, so your child can take part in daily routines with more confidence and independence.

Sensory skills involve how we take in and respond to information from our senses, such as sound, touch, movement, and taste. Some children are very sensitive to sensory input, and others seek more of it. OT helps identify patterns and offers strategies, activities, and environmental changes that help your child feel comfortable and engaged.
Sessions usually include a warm-up, play-based activities that target your child’s goals, practice of new skills, and a wrap-up that shares ideas to try at home.
Occupational therapy focuses on everyday functioning, including sensory, motor, and self-care skills. ABA focuses on learning and behaviour, and speech therapy focuses on communication. Many children benefit from more than one, and our team works together to keep goals aligned.
Funding options depend on your family’s situation. We can help you understand what may apply, including OAP funding and extended health benefits, during your consultation. [CONFIRM: check current OAP and insurance wording before publishing.]
