Our services

Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapy (OT) helps people who struggle to do everyday tasks because of poor motor skills. For kids, that includes tasks that are part of learning and functioning well at school. OT works on the skills kids need to do the things they struggle with, from zipping their coat to writing and typing.

What Is Occupational Therapy

OT is a treatment that works to improve fine and gross motor skills and motor planning. It can also help kids who struggle with self-regulation and sensory processing. The therapy is tailored to a child’s specific needs. Before it begins, an occupational therapist (an OT) looks at a child’s strengths and challenges, and the tasks that child has trouble with. The OT will then create a program of activities for the child to work on. Here are examples of the tasks and skills OTs might focus on:

  • Self-care routines like getting dressed (fine motor skills and motor planning)
  • Writing and copying notes (fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination)
  • Holding and controlling a pencil, using scissors (fine motor skills, motor planning)
  • Throwing and catching (gross motor skills like balance and coordination)
  • Organizing a backpack (motor planning, organization skills)
  • Reacting to sensory input (self-regulation skills)

OT consists of exercises and activities to build specific skills that are weak. For example, if a child has very messy handwriting, therapy may include multisensory techniques to help with handwriting. If a child struggles with focus, the therapist might have that child do full-body exercises before sitting down to do homework. The earlier a child starts OT, the more effective it tends to be. Being able to do basic tasks can also help build up kids’ self-esteem and confidence, which can drop when they are struggling, especially in front of their peers. Kids who struggle with motor skills tend to be uncoordinated and are often clumsy. Being seen as “different” can put them at risk of being bullied and make them feel like victims. Talk to your child about the strengths that can come from challenges. You can also download growth mindset worksheets to help your child be optimistic about improvement.

How OT Can Help With Specific Challenges

Kids with certain challenges often need OT. One condition that impacts motor skills is developmental coordination disorder (sometimes called dyspraxia.) There are a number of activities therapists might use to help improve skills. One exercise for fine motor skills might be for kids to pick up items with tweezers. To help with hand-dominance, kids may practice cutting out things with scissors. To build gross motor skills, kids may do jumping jacks, catch balls of different sizes, or run obstacle courses. Learn more about how OTs work with kids who need help with motor skills. OT can also be a big help for kids who have trouble with sensory processing. When kids struggle to process sensory information, they may overreact or underreact to things they hear, see, taste, touch, or smell. That can lead kids to have meltdowns or become hyperactive. In this case, therapists might design a sensory diet. This plan is a series of physical activities and accommodations tailored to give kids the sensory input they need. OTs may also use heavy work to help kids who seek or avoid certain kinds of sensory input. Occupational therapy may also help kids with other challenges like dyslexia, visual processing issues, executive functioning issues, and dysgraphia.

Speech and Language therapy

Speech and language therapists (SLTs) work with children who may have difficulties with communication, eating, drinking and swallowing. They will show you ways to support your child’s communication or feeding skills.

Communication skills

The development of communication involves many skills including:

  • Social interaction
  • Play
  • Movement of the mouth and speech
  • Understanding language
  • How to express themselves

These may be the focus of your child’s speech and language therapy.

Communication skills change as we grow – babies cry, while older children can be more specific in their communication. There are many ways to communicate including the use of:

  • Voice
  • Words
  • Sentences
  • Gestures and Signs
  • Photos, Pictures and Symbols
  • Specialised communication aids

What a speech and language therapist does

The speech and language therapist aims to work jointly with you to: talk with you about your concerns regarding your child’s communication or eating, drinking and swallowing. assess your child’s strengths and needs in the areas of communication, eating, drinking and swallowing. provide opportunities, such as one-to-one or group therapy with other children or parent support groups, to help with development of your child’s communication. set short and long-term goals link with other relevant services, for example, hearing assessments or assistive technology to enhance communicative abilities if required. liaise with schools and teachers where appropriate to support language development and school curriculum.

Sensory Integration

Sensory integration is a therapy-based intervention, which people usually do with an occupational therapist. For example, an occupational therapist might design and implement an individual program of sensory experiences for a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Sensory integration therapy is for people who have sensory integrative dysfunction, or who have trouble understanding sensory input. This might include children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Sensory integration therapy is used to help children learn to use all their senses together – that is, touch, smell, taste, sight and hearing. It’s claimed that this therapy can improve the challenging behaviour that’s caused by difficulties with processing sensory information. Most people experience events that stimulate more than one sense at the same time. For example, when we read a book, we see the words on the page, we hear the pages turning, and we feel the book in our hands. We might even be able to smell the book if it’s old or dusty. We take in all this varied sensory information and combine it to give us a clear understanding of the world around us.   Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can have trouble combining sensory information in this way. The idea of sensory integration therapy is to use physical activities and exercises to help children learn to interpret and use sensory information more effectively.

Handwriting facilitation

Handwriting is one of the most complex skills that is learnt and taught. It requires motor, sensory, perceptual, praxis and cognitive functions, and the integration of these functions. When the complex nature of this skill is considered, it comes as little surprise that many children experience difficulty in mastering this area. When an occupational therapist observes that a child referred to the service is having difficulty with handwriting, it becomes necessary for the therapist to administer procedures to identify the strengths and weaknesses that will then become the basis for a remedial programme. We teach the easiest skills first, and then build on prior knowledge. All letters are taught in small groups of similar formation. Children master the easier letter groups, and then move to the more difficult letters groups.   We incorporate stages of learning from imitation to copying to independent writing We help children develop their writing skills through explicit, multisensory, play-based instruction Children move, touch, feel, and manipulate real objects as they learn the habits and skills essential for writing. We use music to speak to children and promote movement and memory.

Group therapy

Group therapy gives therapists an opportunity to see how kids relate to one another in a group setting. For kids struggling with social interaction, poor social skills, or inattentiveness, the group setting offers the therapist a chance to help kids work through their obstacles with other kids as they occur. When a child struggles with social interaction skills, parents often seek help to improve the child’s ability to communicate and connect with others. In individual therapy, the child will work on specific goals to address these skills. An example might be making one new friend by initiating a conversation and using active listening skills. This helps the child practice a specific skill set. In a group setting, however, the child has the opportunity to work on these skills with other kids in the room. If a child struggles with social interaction skills because of anxiety, the child can work on initiating a conversation with another child in the safety of the group.

Special education

Special education, or special needs education, is the practice of educating students with special needs in a way that addresses their individual differences and needs. Special education is the individually planned and systematically monitored arrangement of teaching procedures, adapted equipment and materials, accessible settings, and other interventions designed to help learners with special needs achieve a higher level of personal self-sufficiency and success in school and community than would be available if the student were only given access to a typical classroom education.

Physio therapy

Physiotherapy treatment aims to promote a child’s independence and ability to reach physical milestones. Treatment will be specific to a child’s needs, age and abilities and our team of specialist physiotherapists will often use fun games and activities to help promote normal development.

Benifits of PT:

  • Achievement of physical milestones such as sitting, crawling and standing
  • Improved independence in activities of daily living
  • Improved posture, muscle strength, balance and coordination
  • Improved confidence
