What is Occupational Therapy for children and young people?
Paediatric Occupational Therapy doesn’t just focus on play and motor skills — it also plays a vital role in helping children succeed with everyday functional tasks and in the classroom.
Our Occupational Therapists support children with:
🏠 Functional Skills at Home
- Dressing, feeding, toileting, and hygiene routines
- Managing transitions and building independence
- Improving emotional regulation and sensory processing for smoother daily routines
🏫 Academic Skills at School
- Fine motor skills needed for handwriting, cutting, and using classroom tools
- Visual-motor integration for reading, copying from the board, and organising work
- Attention, planning, and organisation — key for focus and completing tasks
- Sensory regulation strategies to help children stay calm, alert, and ready to learn
At Sensory Smart Child Therapies, we assess each child’s strengths and challenges across settings and create a tailored plan that supports their development at home and at school. Our goal is to help children feel confident, capable, and ready to participate fully in daily life.
