Occupational Therapists

Many people think Occupational Therapists just help with handwriting – but they can help with all the things that kids want or need to do during the day.

These activities or tasks are called “occupations”, which is where OTs get their name from.

Kid’s occupations can include what they want to do during the day such as to play, climb a tree, eat their lunch.

As well as activities or tasks they need to do, such as to sleep, drink from a cup, wipe their bottom or write their name.

Paediatric occupational therapists can also have special interestss in areas like emotional regulation, mental health, sensory processing or more.
