What does therapy look like?
See some examples of activities we use within occupational therapy sessions on the images within our website.
Therapy usually occurs at school or kindy in a seperate space to the classroom, with a combination of inside and outside play, or at the young person’s home.
Some areas we commonly work on are:
✨ Sensory Integration – Helping clients understand their sensory needs and develop strategies for home, school, work, and the community.
😊 Emotional Regulation – Identifying triggers and learning techniques to stay calm and focused.
💪 Fine Motor Skills – Strengthening small muscles for everyday tasks like tying shoelaces, using utensils, and handwriting.
✍️ Handwriting Support – Improving posture, core strength, and letter formation for clearer, more confident writing.
🏃 Gross Motor Skills – Enhancing coordination, body awareness, and strength for activities like ball skills and movement planning.
🗣️ Social Skills – Navigating friendships, understanding social cues, and building self-advocacy.
💛 Confidence & Well-being – Using mindfulness and relaxation techniques to reduce anxiety and build self-awareness.
Our sessions are always fun, meaningful, and tailored to each person’s needs. Let’s work together to achieve your therapy goals! 🎉
