Paediatric Occupational Therapy in Grafton – Practical Support for Growing Kids
Every child learns differently. Some pick up new skills quickly, while others need a little extra guidance to build coordination, motor skills, and everyday independence.
Our paediatric occupational therapy in Grafton supports children who face challenges with movement, focus, self-care, or sensory sensitivities.
If your child:
- Finds it hard to hold a pencil, use cutlery, or do up buttons.
- Struggles to follow instructions or stay focused.
- Feels overwhelmed by loud noises, certain textures, or bright lights.
- Has trouble making friends or handling emotions.
- Needs support with tasks like getting dressed or brushing teeth.
Occupational therapy breaks these challenges down into small, achievable steps, helping kids build confidence and feel more in control.
How Paediatric OT in Grafton Supports Your Child
Our OT therapy sessions focus on your child’s needs, working on practical, everyday skills that help make daily life easier and more enjoyable.
Improving Fine & Gross Motor Skills
Some kids need help with balance, coordination, or precise hand movements.
Therapy strengthens these skills through fun, movement-based activities.
Managing Sensory Sensitivities
For children who struggle with noisy environments, different textures, or sudden movements, therapy provides tools to help them feel calm and in control.
Building Independence with Daily Tasks
Activities like brushing teeth, tying shoelaces, or using a fork and knife can feel frustrating.
Occupational therapy helps children develop routines and strategies to do these tasks on their own.
Encouraging Social & Emotional Development
Some children find it hard to understand emotions, take turns, or adapt to changes.
Therapy teaches skills that help them navigate friendships and manage emotions more effectively.
Preparing for School Success
If a child struggles with writing, concentration, or classroom routines, our occupational therapy helps them gain the skills they need to participate confidently in school.
