Paediatric occupational therapy uses a holistic approach to address concerns with the physical, psychological and social abilities of a child. Occupational therapists treat children with all levels of abilities and needs. They can help to improve cognitive, physical, sensory, and motor skills. Occupational therapy will also help children to foster independence, achieve their goals, and enhance self-esteem.

Occupational therapy can evaluate children’s skills for school, play, and daily activities. They work together with the families to develop goals based on their evaluation and familial concerns.
