Paediatric Occupational Therapy

Paediatric occupational therapy (OT) supports children to achieve their potential by enabling engagement and participation in meaningful everyday activities.

We currently offer Occupational Therapy Services in our Townsville clinic.

Our paediatric occupational therapists can support young people’s participation across various settings, including:

  • School
    (e.g. writing, reading, fine motor skills, learning, attention)
  • Home tasks
    (e.g. fitting in with family life, jobs, homework, getting self ready)
  • Play
    (e.g. imaginative play, social interaction, gross motor skills)
  • Self-care
    (e.g. bathing, dressing, eating, cutlery use, organising self)
  • Work
    (preparing a young person to be able to engage in the workplace)

We achieve extraordinary outcomes for young people through a combination of interventions including skill development, education, collaboration and environmental modification.
