What does a Paediatric Occupational Therapist Do?
Paediatric Occupational Therapists are trained to assess and provide therapy for children who may experience difficulties with their fine, gross or visual motor skills as well as attention, concentration, sensory and emotional regulation difficulties. Occupational Therapists help children to participate and engage in their everyday lives.
Paediatric Occupational Therapists are trained to help children with the occupation of being a child! This means making and keeping friends, playing, building, running, jumping, being creative, listening and self care activities like getting dressed and tying their shoelaces.
