West Coast Occupational Therapy – paediatric Occupational Therapy in Edgewater

Helping children build skills, confidence, and independence through occupational therapy.

At West Coast Occupational Therapy, our experienced paediatric occupational therapists work with children to help them fully engage in school, play, and everyday life. We focus on improving motor skills, cognitive skills, and self-regulation so your child can develop confidence, social skills, and independence.

We believe in the power of early intervention, with research showing how timely support can positively shape a child’s learning and development.

No referral is required – parents and carers can book appointments directly.

When to see a paediatric Occupational Therapist

Our OTs support children with a wide range of developmental, sensory, and learning challenges, including:

• Messy or slow handwriting
• Difficulty sitting still or constantly moving
• Trouble copying from the board at school
