What is OT?
Occupational Therapists support people to participate in the everyday activities that are meaningful and important to them.
For children, this can include:
🧩 Playing and engaging with others
✏️ Developing fine motor and handwriting skills
🧠 Supporting sensory processing and regulation
👕 Building independence with dressing, feeding and self-care
🏫 Participating in learning and school routines
💬 Developing social and emotional skills
💪 Building confidence, strength and coordination
OT is all about understanding what a child wants or needs to do, what may be making it difficult, and how we can support them to participate more successfully.
And sometimes, OT doesn’t look like traditional “therapy” at all — it might look like playing, exploring, moving, creating and having fun. 🌿
Because when children are supported to participate in the things that matter to them, they can learn, grow and thrive. ✨
