Kids Occupational Therapy

1 – 25 years of age welcome

Developing Skills for Everyday Life

We provide pediatric Occupational Therapy (OT) to assist children and young adults in learning and developing the skills they need for everyday life. Occupational Therapy’s primary goal is to expand the individual’s performance and engagement in daily activities.

At Kids Therapy Club, our Occupational Therapists support children to do what they want, need and have to do in their everyday lives. We do this by developing a range of target areas that are necessary to be independent and confident with everyday tasks and activities.

Some of the target areas our OTs support children and families to develop resulting in greater independence and self-esteem include:

  • Fine and gross motor skills (otherwise known as physical development) 
  • Cognitive and learning skills
  • Executive functioning skills
  • Sensory integration
  • Social skills
  • Self-regulation skills 
  • Visual perception and visual-motor integration skills  
  • School-based skills such as handwriting
  • Self-Care skills
  • Healthy daily routines

Our experienced Occupational Therapists collaborate closely with children, parents, and caregivers. Together, we’ll define goals and create a personalized therapy plan for your child. Based on their specific needs, progress, and goals, your Occupational Therapist will recommend the frequency and duration of therapy sessions, but the final decision is always yours.

How We can Assist You …
