Private Occupational Therapists Helping Children in London & Surrey
What is Paediatric Occupational Therapy? |
Usually one associates the word “occupation’ with an adult’s job. So, what does Occupational Therapy have to do with children?
For children, occupation refers to their daily activities such as:
- moving about to develop motor skills
- exploring their environment through creative play
- problem-solving and learning through everyday experiences
- regulating emotions to cope with their world
- socially interacting and engaging with friends and family
- achieving self-help skills such as getting dressed and feeding themselves.
As paediatric occupational therapists, we look at how a child’s sensory, physical, and social-emotional difficulties affect their ability to reach their fullest potential during daily activities.
A fun and playful approach is used to help your child build skills and reach their highest potential.
