Paediatric Occupational Therapy
What is Paediatric Occupational Therapy?
Pediatric occupational therapy supports the development of the motor, sensory, and visual abilities that kids need to function and interact with others. It is children’s occupational therapy that assists them in becoming more independent. Our occupational therapists are passionate about helping families and children by giving them the best support possible based on their unique requirements. Children’s occupational therapy evaluations and functional capacity evaluations for adults and children are two of the services we offer. We offer clinic-based sessions, virtual consultations, and in-person or remote sessions for students. We prepare and provide programs for educating parents, home resources, and school preparedness.
