Is OT only for children with a diagnosis?
No. Many children come for handwriting, coordination or attention difficulties without any diagnosis.
About this therapy
What it is.
Occupational therapy (OT) helps children with the everyday things they need to do: play, write, dress, eat, and cope at school. It works on fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, attention, and how a child processes what they see, hear and feel.
OT often helps children with autism, ADHD or developmental delay, and children who simply find handwriting or coordination hard.

Families ask
Good questions.
How is OT different from physiotherapy?
OT focuses on everyday tasks and fine motor skills. Physiotherapy focuses on bigger movements like walking and balance.
Can OT help at school?
Yes. Many goals relate directly to school: handwriting, sitting and attending, and organising tasks.
