Occupational Therapy & Sensory Integration
Building Skills. Supporting Independence. Empowering Every Child.
Our Occupational Therapy program supports children in developing the skills they need to participate, learn, play, communicate, and become more independent in everyday life. Through individualized, play-based interventions, children are supported according to their unique developmental needs, strengths, and goals.
What Is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational therapy helps children develop the skills required for everyday activities and meaningful participation at home, school, and in the community.
Our pediatric occupational therapy program may support:
Helping Children Understand & Respond to Their World
Children receive information from their senses throughout the day. Sometimes they may find it difficult to process or respond appropriately to sensory information.
Sensory-focused occupational therapy uses carefully selected, play-based activities to help children participate more comfortably and effectively in daily activities.
Sensory areas may include:
Touch
Responses to different textures and physical contact.
Movement & Balance
Activities involving movement, balance, and body awareness.
Body Awareness
Helping children understand where their body is in relation to their environment.
Visual Processing
Activities involving visual attention, tracking, and visual-motor coordination.
Auditory Processing
Supporting participation when children are sensitive to or distracted by sounds.
Oral Sensory Experiences
Supporting appropriate sensory experiences related to the mouth and feeding within the therapist's scope.
Who May Benefit?
Occupational therapy and sensory-focused intervention may be helpful for children experiencing difficulties with motor planning, self-care, handwriting, or sensory processing.
It may also be incorporated into multidisciplinary support for children with developmental delays, autism, learning difficulties, neurological conditions, or other developmental needs, following appropriate assessment.
Fine Motor & Pre-Writing Skills
Activities can be designed to develop:
These skills support children's ability to participate more effectively in classroom and everyday activities.
Play & Development
Play is an important occupation of childhood. Our therapists use meaningful and age-appropriate play activities to encourage:
The aim is to make therapy engaging, purposeful, and meaningful for each child.
Feeding & Oral-Motor Support
Where appropriate and within the therapist's professional scope, occupational therapy may contribute to addressing functional feeding skills, positioning, self-feeding, and sensory aspects of eating.
For children with swallowing difficulties, feeding safety concerns, or suspected dysphagia, assessment and management should involve an appropriately qualified Speech & Language Pathologist/feeding and swallowing professional, with nutrition support from a dietitian where needed.
Family-Centered Therapy
Parents and caregivers are an important part of a child's developmental journey. We provide practical guidance that can help families incorporate appropriate strategies and activities into everyday routines.
Parent guidance may include:
