Occupational Therapy
We’re dedicated to helping children reach their full potential, fostering meaningful engagement at home, school, and beyond.
ASSESSMENT
Our assessments provide a detailed understanding of your child’s strengths and challenges across sensory, motor, emotional, and cognitive domains.
Using evidence-based tools, parent/carer interviews, and clinical observations, we evaluate key areas such as sensory processing, retained reflexes, motor skills, and social-emotional development.
Our tools include balance assessments, sensory and social skills profiles, and tests for motor proficiency and visual-motor integration. These insights enable us to design targeted interventions that support your child’s development, enhance independence, and help them reach their full potential.
We offer safe and effective paediatric Occupational Therapy for children and families, providing strategies and therapy that delivers impactful results.
OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY
Our Occupational Therapy sessions are tailored to help children build essential skills and overcome challenges in a fun and engaging way.
Focusing on areas such as self-care, school readiness, social skills, and gross and fine motor development, we support children with a wide range of needs, including retained reflexes, sensory issues, emotional regulation, focus, impulse control, and more.
Our approach combines brain-based therapy with exercise and movement, incorporating innovative tools and technology
This approach allow us to tailor dynamic sessions to each child to ensure children stay engaged and challenged in therapy.
our difference
We combine brain-based therapy with exercise and movement, incorporating innovative tools and technology to create fun, engaging, and effective therapy experiences.
EXERCISE & MOVEMENT
We use exercise and movement combined with brain-based therapy to support children’s development in a holistic and engaging way.
Our approach focuses on:
▶ Sensory Integration: Enhancing the brain’s ability to process and respond to sensory input through purposeful movement activities.
▶ Emotional Regulation: Using exercise to help children manage emotions, reduce anxiety, and improve focus and self-control.
▶ Motor Skills Development: Strengthening gross and fine motor coordination through structured and playful movement.
▶ Planning and Sequencing: Improving a child’s ability to organise and execute multi-step tasks for better problem-solving and daily functioning.
▶ Retained Reflex Integration: Addressing primitive reflexes that may interfere with learning, behaviour, and motor skills to support smoother development.
By integrating movement into therapy, we create engaging, impactful sessions that support growth and empower children to reach their full potential.
By identifying brain imbalances and tailoring our approach, we help children build essential skills, improve their capacity, and achieve measurable progress—all while enjoying the process.
INNOVATIVE TOOLS & TECHNOLOGY
We leverage cutting-edge tools and technology to create fun, engaging, and effective therapy experiences.
By incorporating innovative devices, we help children build essential skills and develop their capacity in a way that feels like play while delivering real, measurable progress.
Our approach includes:
▶ Reaction Lights: Enhancing reaction time, coordination, and focus through dynamic, light-based challenges.
▶ Laser-Guided Proprioceptive Feedback Therapy: Supporting body awareness, balance, and movement precision with targeted, feedback-driven exercises.
▶ Virtual Reality (VR) Technology: Immersive experiences that promote sensory integration, emotional regulation, planning, and problem-solving in an exciting and controlled environment.
These tools allow us to challenge children in creative ways, tailoring therapy to their individual needs while making each session enjoyable and impactful.

Making Milestones
Developmental milestones track changes in babies as they learn to move, see, hear, communicate and interact with others.
While children reach these milestones at their own pace, some may progress more quickly than others – even siblings in the same family can develop at different rates.
There are four main types of developmental delays:
▶ Cognitive
▶ Sensorimotor
▶ Speech and language (the most common)
▶ Socio-emotional
While minor, temporary delays are often no cause for concern, ongoing or multiple delays may indicate challenges that could affect learning, communication, and social interaction later in life.
Falling outside the normal range isn’t always cause for concern, but if you’re concerned about your baby’s development, talk to your GP, paediatrician or Occupational Therapist.
Occupational Therapists provide tools and strategies to address developmental delays, helping to remove barriers, support growth and foster independence.

Is My Child Ready For School?
Starting school is a big transition and preparing your child for the transition to school can be daunting. As children age – and the demands on them within the school, home and social environment increase – any comparative delays and difficulties become more evident.
School readiness is about more than age – it’s about having the physical, emotional, social and sensory skills needed to engage, learn and cope in a classroom environment.
If your child has difficulty with attention, emotional regulation, independence, sensory processing, motor skills or social interactions, starting school can feel overwhelming.
Our Occupational Therapists support children to build the core skills needed for a confident, successful transition to school.
Occupational Therapist Aaron discusses retained neonatal reflexes in this video.
Retained reflexes can impact how a child moves, learns, regulates emotions and interacts with the world.
When early reflexes don’t integrate as a child grows, they may contribute to challenges with coordination, attention, sensory processing, behaviour, and learning.
Common signs may include fidgeting or poor impulse control, clumsiness, poor posture, difficulty with eye tracking or focus, sensory sensitivities, emotional overreactions, or challenges with attention and learning.
Our Occupational Therapists assess retained reflexes and support children and families with practical strategies to promote integration and development.
