Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to what parents ask us most about occupational therapy.
What does an occupational therapist do for children?
They help children build the skills needed for play, learning and self-care, such as hand skills, coordination, attention and sensory regulation, using play-based activities.
When should I consider occupational therapy?
If writing, dressing, eating, focusing or coordination seem much harder for your child than expected for their age, an assessment can clarify whether therapy would help.
What happens in the first assessment?
The therapist talks with you about history and routines, then observes your child through play and simple tasks. You then discuss findings and next steps together.
Is it only for children with a diagnosis?
No. Many children are assessed because parents notice everyday difficulties. The therapist decides what support suits your child.
How long does therapy take?
It varies, because every child’s needs and progress differ. We discuss a plan after the assessment.
What can parents do at home?
Offer play with clay, blocks and drawing, involve your child in simple chores, keep routines predictable and follow your therapist’s suggested activities.
