People are important. Occupational therapy helps children and young people do the things that are important to them. That can be play, sleep routines, social interactions, eating, toileting, morning and after school routines.
What we can help you with is diverse: from morning get ready for the day, developmental milestones, sleep routines, social activities, physical play, and getting along with the family. How we help is learn new skills in play, use assistive technology to change tasks, or change the prompts caregivers provide.
✅ Assessment: Advocacy is important in the NDIS. Assistive technology assessment can be the evidence to have the support you need funded.

✅ Therapy
| Regulation | Children learn to regulate through co-regulation, we help children and young people to recognise their emotions, energy levels and behaviours, and have strategies to manage them. |
| Attachment and Relationships | We work with parents and caregivers to improve the relationship with young people. Occupational therapy views a parent – child relationship (in all its forms) as the primary environment the child does things in. |
| Executive Functioning | We help to improve attention, planning, organisation, self-control, and following instructions. In practice this covers the everyday tasks to dressing, showering, and getting ready for school. |
| Fine and Gross Motor Skills | Developing coordination and movement. In children impacts play and every task they do, from use of knives and forks, to drawing, play on a playground, sports field or tabletop play! |
