What does a Paediatric occupational Therapist do?
Paediatric occupational therapists are qualified to provide therapy for children who have difficulties with fine, gross and visual motor skills. Occupational therapists enable children to be active and participate in their daily lives.
Paediatric occupational therapy is trained to assist children in the activities of being a child. This includes making friends, running, jumping and being creative. They also teach self-care skills, such as dressing and changing your shoes.

Don’t wait. Early intervention is proven to be a key factor in helping children succeed now and in the long-term.. These difficulties don’t just ‘go away”. These difficulties are not caused by your child being lazy. It is possible that your child will avoid activities or become frustrated when it comes to homework.
This is because it is simply hard for them. While a parent can’t cause their child these problems, a parent who provides the right support and advice can help their child achieve success.
