Our Services

Sensory Processing

At the heart of our occupational therapy services is a focus on sensory processing, helping children who experience the world a little differently to feel more comfortable and engaged in their daily lives. We support kids who might feel overwhelmed by sounds, textures, or movement—or those who seek out extra sensory input—by creating individualized plans that address their unique needs. Using playful, evidence-based techniques, we work on building skills like self-regulation, focus, and coordination, all while empowering children to thrive in environments like home, school, or play. Our goal is to turn sensory challenges into opportunities for growth, giving your child the tools to navigate their world with confidence.

Life Skills

Our occupational therapy services for children under 9 focus on building essential life skills that set the foundation for independence and success. From mastering self-care tasks like dressing and eating to developing social skills like sharing and turn-taking, we tailor our approach to meet each child’s developmental stage and needs. Through fun, engaging activities, we help kids refine their fine motor abilities, improve coordination, and grow confidence in navigating daily routines. By working closely with families, we ensure these skills translate into real-life moments—whether it’s tying shoelaces, holding a pencil, or playing with friends—empowering your child to thrive at home, school, and beyond.

Emotional Regulation

Our occupational therapy services for kids place a strong emphasis on emotional regulation, helping children understand and manage their feelings in a way that supports their well-being and relationships. We work with kids who might struggle with big emotions—whether it’s meltdowns, frustration, or anxiety—by introducing practical, age-appropriate tools. Through playful and supportive sessions, we guide them to recognize their emotional cues and build resilience, all while boosting their ability to cope with challenges at home, school, or play. Partnering with families, we create consistent strategies to nurture your child’s emotional growth and confidence in any situation.

Developmental Delay

"Our occupational therapy services are designed to support babies and children with developmental delays, helping them reach their full potential through early, targeted intervention. Whether it’s delays in motor skills—like rolling, crawling, or grasping—or challenges with sleeping, play, or social engagement, we craft individualized plans to meet your child where they are. Using hands-on, play-based techniques, we stimulate growth in areas like coordination, strength, and sensory processing, while keeping sessions fun and engaging for little ones. By collaborating with families, we provide the tools and strategies to nurture your child’s development, building a strong foundation for milestones at home and beyond.

Functional Capacity Assessment

Our occupational therapy services include functional capacity assessments tailored for children, providing a comprehensive picture of their abilities and needs within the NDIS framework. We evaluate how kids manage daily tasks—like self-care, play, or school activities—focusing on strengths and areas where support can enhance their independence and participation. Using evidence-based tools and observations, we create detailed reports to inform NDIS plans, ensuring funding aligns with your child’s goals, whether that’s improving motor skills, sensory regulation, or social engagement. Working closely with families, we turn these assessments into practical, family-centered strategies that empower your child to thrive in their everyday environments.
