Paediatric Play believes that every child is unique. By encouraging play we can encourage development, assist children with life skills that provide them with useful tools and strategies to be the best version of themselves. We use a child-focused and family-centered approach that empowers children and their families to thrive and achieve their greatest potential. Paediatric play can support your child’s development and challengers in the gross and fine motor skills, sensory integration, social skills, self-care skills, emotional regulation, executive functioning and play.
Occupational Therapy supports children to build on their strengths, enables children to participate in activities (occupations) they find meaningful and bridge the gaps in their development so they can participate in activities with confidence and motivation. Occupational Therapy assist teachers, caregivers, parents and children to achieve goals within a home, school and community environment through individualized programs, recommendations and techniques .
Paediatric occupational therapist work with children to support them with their life occupations. For children, their life is made up of “occupations”, or daily activities, these include learning, playing, socialising and self care activities (dressing, toileting showering) to facilitate social, emotional, physical and cognitive development. Occupational therapist are qualified allied health professionals providing services for children with autism spectrum disorder, global developmental delay, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, sensory processing disorder and developmental coordination disorder.
