Signs to Watch For
Every child develops differently, but these are common signs parents notice before seeking occupational therapy.
Difficulty holding a pencil or using scissors
Clumsiness or frequent trips and falls
Strong reactions to certain textures, tags, or food consistencies
Avoiding playground equipment like swings or slides
Trouble with buttons, zips, or shoelaces
Seeming unusually floppy or overly stiff in movement
Recognise a few of these? A free consultation can help you understand what's going on.

Fine & Gross Motor Growth
Builds the hand strength, coordination, and body control needed for writing, buttoning, and active play.
Sensory Regulation
Helps children who are over- or under-sensitive to touch, sound, or movement feel calmer and more in control.
Everyday Independence
Turns daily routines (dressing, eating, tidying up) into skills your child can manage with less support.
