Occupational Therapy
Occupational Therapy (OT) is a healthcare profession focused on helping people of all ages live more meaningful and fulfilling lives. Occupational therapists work with individuals who face challenges in their daily activities due to physical, cognitive, or emotional issues. The goal of OT is to help individuals become more independent in their activities, improve their quality of life, and enhance overall well-being.
Occupational therapists consider each person's strengths, limitations, environment, and personal goals to create tailored interventions and strategies. These may include rehabilitative exercises, setting achievable goals, using specialized equipment, making lifestyle changes, and cognitive-behavioural techniques. Ultimately, Occupational Therapy aims to empower individuals to live their lives to the fullest. Here's how we can assist:
Motor Skill Development
Fine Motor Skills: We address various fine motor challenges, from printing and scissor skills to buttoning and lacing.
Gross Motor Skills: Our focus is on balance, bilateral coordination, motor planning, and core and upper body strength building.
Sensory Processing Support
We provide comprehensive sensory processing support, covering visual, auditory, tactile, vestibular, and proprioceptive senses.
Feeding Skills Enhancement
Our expertise includes:
Assisting with bottle feeding.
Transitioning to solid foods.
Fostering positive mealtime experiences at home and school.
Assessment Process
The journey begins with an assessment tailored to each individual’s needs. We identify strengths, weaknesses, and therapy goals using standardized tests and parental input.
Assessment Options
Choose from two assessment options:
Fine Motor Assessment with Gross Motor Screen: Evaluates hand skills, printing, scissor skills, and more, along with upper body and core strength.
Sensory Assessment: Includes fine and gross motor evaluations, supplemented by parent questionnaires for a comprehensive understanding. This assessment spans two visits, with a follow-up consultation session.
Therapy Services
Following the assessment, our occupational therapists will design engaging programs to foster motor skill development and sensory processing. Sessions are offered one-on-one or in group formats for activities like printing and gymnastics.
