Paediatric Occupational Therapy is a specialized form of therapy designed to help children develop the skills necessary for successful participation in everyday activities. Its objective is to enhance the growth and improvement of children by addressing any physical, cognitive, or emotional challenges that may be obstructing their advancement.
The Role of Paediatric Occupational Therapy
Paediatric Occupational Therapy may address various issues such as developmental delays, sensory processing difficulties, autism, ADHD, and other similar conditions. The treatment is individualized to suit the needs of each child and may involve a combination of individual and group therapy sessions, play-based activities, and other techniques.
At Pelorus OT, we support the growth and development of young children, helping them overcome any physical, cognitive, or emotional barriers that may be hindering their progress.
With a focus on play-based therapy, our Paediatric Occupational Therapy services are fun and engaging for children, helping them to develop the skills they need to succeed in life.
Pelorus OT services help children develop and improve various skills, including:
- Fine and gross motor coordination and strength, essential for tasks like writing, playing sports, and eating.
- Sensory processing, allowing for improved handling of sensory information during activities such as getting dressed and brushing teeth.
- Self-care skills, supporting children with developmental delays in areas like bathing and dressing.
- Cognitive and academic skills, including attention, memory, and fine motor skills necessary for writing and other academic tasks.
- Emotional regulation and stress management through the use of coping strategies.
