Pediatric Occupational Therapy › Treatment

Therapy is built around your child's goals and delivered through activities they enjoy. Progress in occupational therapy comes from practice that feels like play, supported by strategies you and your child's school can use every day.

Fine motor development

Building hand strength, grip, and control through activities that make the practice worth doing — construction,
craft, games, and tool use.

Balance and postural control

Strengthening the core and improving steadiness, so sitting at a desk and moving through the day take less
effort.

Sensory integration therapy

Structured movement and sensory activities that help your child's nervous system process input more
comfortably, so daily environments feel less overwhelming.

Executive functioning support

Building the skills behind planning, organizing, starting tasks, and following through — with routines and
supports that carry into school.

Self-care training

Step-by-step work on dressing, hygiene, and mealtime independence, broken into stages your child can
succeed at.

Toilet training

A structured, pressure-free approach for children who need more support than a standard routine provides.

Social skills development

Practising turn-taking, sharing, reading social cues, and joining in — usually in small groups where the skills
can be used in real time.

Home and school programs

Written programs of activities and strategies that fit into everyday routines, so progress doesn't depend on
session time alone.

Gross motor and coordination training

Developing whole-body skills so your child can keep up in the playground and in PE with more confidence
and less fatigue.

Handwriting intervention

Targeted work on letter formation, spacing, and writing endurance, along with the underlying motor skills that
make writing possible.

Emotional regulation strategies

Practical tools your child can use to notice and manage big feelings, plus strategies you can use at home to
support them.

Visual perceptual and visual-motor training

Activities that sharpen how your child interprets visual information and coordinates it with movement,
supporting reading, copying, and drawing.

Feeding therapy

Support for children who are selective eaters or find mealtimes difficult, working gradually toward a wider
range of foods and a calmer table.

Play-based therapy

Therapy delivered through play, because play is how children learn best. Goals are embedded in activities
your child chooses to take part in.

Parent coaching and education

You are the biggest influence on your child's progress. We show you what to do between sessions and why it
works.

School consultation and collaboration

Working with your child's teachers and support staff so the classroom supports the same goals as therapy.
