Occupational Therapy
Lotus Family Clinic Occupational Therapy Services
Paediatric OT's have specialist skills and experience in helping children through crucial periods of development with activities such as:
- Self care: dressing, bathing, using the toilet, eating, doing chores, making a snack and organising themselves.
- Play and leisure: playing alone or with others, imaginary play and participating in leisure/sport activities.
- School: tasks involved with participating in a learning environment such as concentrating, following instructions and handwriting and typing skills.
There are many reasons why a child may need support to participate in everyday activities. OT's can help children who have challenges related to:
- Fine motor and gross motor skill development
- Self regulation and behaviour
- Sensory processing
- Attention
- Coordination
- Cognition and learning
- Visual perception
- Handwriting
- Conditions such as Autism, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, Developmental Delay, Developmental Coordination Disorder, Dyslexia and more.
OT’s will set goals with your family and child, and support your child to achieve these goals by:
- Helping your child to build their skills through targeted and fun activities.
- Providing you with specialist advice and support to adjust your child's activity or environment, in order to help your child to participate better. This could involve supporting your child with specialist equipment.
- Providing guidance to you and to other important people in your child's life, such as teachers, so that you know how to support your child to reach their potential every day.
Services can be provided at the clinic, childcare/kindergarten, school or home setting depending on the goals of the child.
We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we operate and pay our respects to elder’s past, present and emerging.
