What is a Paediatric Occupational Therapy?
Paediatric Occupational Therapists have been trained to evaluate and provide therapy for children suffering from difficulties with their fine, visual or 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.
What Can A Paediatric Occupational Therapist Assist With?
The common issues Occupational Therapists in Mount Annan can help with are:
- Fine motor skills or finger skills like cutting, holding pencils, using zippers, doing up buttons.
- Gross motor skills or whole body movements like running, jumping, swimming, riding a bike, throwing and catching balls.
- Sensory Processing skills for concentration and learning that focus on how the body responses to external stimulus which impacts concentration, behavior and learning.
- Self care skills like dressing, toileting, eating or sleeping.
- Visual motor skills that help a child to interpret visual information that helps for reading, writing or catching a ball.
Paediatric Occupational Therapists are trained to help children with their play, fine, gross and visual motor skills as well support emotional and sensory regulation skills.
Don’t wait. Children can be helped now and in the future through early intervention. In general these difficulties do not just ‘go away’. These difficulties are not caused by your child being lazy. Your child may avoid certain situations or get frustrated when they have homework.
This is because it is simply hard for them. A parent does not cause their child to have these difficulties, however a parent who has found the right advice and support can help their child to achieve success.
