Children’s Occupational Therapy

Why Occupational Therapy?

Sometimes for a whole range of reasons kids may find it hard to do the things they want, need or are expected to do. At Kids & Community, we work with kids and their families to figure out how to make everyday things easier!

Connections

Connections or our relationships are what makes our life meaningful. We support children to make and strengthen connections/ relationships with their family, peers and their community (preschool, music group, school, sporting club etc).

Play

The central occupation of childhood is play. Play is the way children from a very early age interact and learn about their world, themselves and others.

We are truly play-based. Every aspect of our service uses play as a powerful therapeutic tool from the initial consultation through to our parent workshops (yes grown ups need to play too!)

Independence

As children grow and develop, their independence skills become increasingly important. Occupational Therapist’s like to work with a child and family’s strengths to overcome barriers and promote independence

Participation

We feel strongly about helping children to participate fully in all aspects of life. We work directly with children and the adults that help them to develop the child’s skills, recommend ways to  adapt or modify specific activities/tasks or adapt or modify the  environment to allow child to participate.
