What is Pediatric Occupational Therapy?
Occupational therapy helps children develop the skills they need to grow into functional, independent adults. Through play-based interventions and structured activities, we address challenges that affect a child's ability to perform daily tasks.
Our occupational therapists work with children who have difficulties with motor skills, sensory processing, self-care tasks, or social participation. We create individualized treatment plans that make therapy engaging and meaningful for each child.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between occupational therapy and physiotherapy?
While physiotherapy focuses primarily on gross motor skills and physical rehabilitation, occupational therapy takes a holistic approach to helping children participate in daily activities. OT addresses fine motor skills, sensory processing, self-care tasks, handwriting, and how children function in school, home, and play environments.
How long does occupational therapy take?
The duration depends on your child's specific needs and goals. Some children need a few months of intensive support, while others benefit from ongoing therapy over a longer period. After the initial assessment, we'll create a personalized plan with clear milestones and discuss expected timelines.
Does my child need an assessment first?
Yes, we start with a comprehensive assessment to evaluate your child's motor skills, sensory processing, self-care abilities, and overall functional performance. This assessment helps us identify specific areas of need and create an individualized therapy plan.
What age groups do you serve?
We provide occupational therapy services for children aged 12 months to 18 years. Our interventions are developmentally appropriate, ranging from play-based activities for toddlers to functional skills training for teenagers preparing for independence.
Where are OT sessions conducted?
We offer flexible session locations including our sensory-equipped clinic at One Holland Village, your home for functional skill development in natural environments, or your child's school. We collaborate with you to determine the most beneficial setting for your child.
How do I know if my child needs occupational therapy?
Common signs include difficulty with self-care tasks like dressing or feeding, poor handwriting, sensory sensitivities, coordination challenges, attention difficulties, or struggles with daily routines. Our free 15-minute discovery call can help determine if an OT assessment would be beneficial for your child.
