Pediatric OT can help your child fulfill their highest potential! OT helps children develop independence in everyday tasks through developing and strengthening foundational skills. These foundational skills include gross motor skills, fine motor skills, handwriting, sensory processing skills and visual processing skills.
If you feel your child would benefit from Pediatric OT, but are unsure of where to begin, a free initial consultation would be a great start! Based on a thorough assessment, we can recommend a therapeutic plan for your child. We can also provide home visits* for fine motor and gross motor skills evaluation, sensory processing assessments, handwriting assessments, and more!
A 15 minute virtual meeting or phone call where we thoroughly review your child's developmental history. A collaborative approach is used to set goals for your child.
In home assessments available.
A 60 minute in-person* assessment. We can assess the following areas individually or in combination depending on the goals generated during our initial consultation:
Following the assessment, we provide an initial recommendation email for yourself and/or your child's teacher and other allied health professionals in order to provide continuity of care across a variety of settings.
An individualised and detailed recommendation letter that can be used in support of insurance and OAP funding requests. Please note that completion times for the recommendation letter may vary between 1 to 2 weeks.
Visual Supports are visual communication tools that can be beneficial in assisting with activities of daily living, such as getting ready in the morning, toileting, coming home from school, and getting ready for bed in the evening.
In home sessions available.
Ongoing OT sessions following the initial consultation and in-person evaluation. Ongoing sessions can be done in home or at school. Travel fee applies (price will vary depending on location.)
