Paediatric Occupational Therapy
When your child needs extra help it’s important to know that they are receiving the best care. At Habit Health our team of Paediatric Occupational Therapists are sensitive to the reality that each family needs an approach specific to their needs.
How can Paediatric Occupational Therapy help?
When everyday tasks require a bit more planning and forethought, we can provide in home paediatric occupational therapy to advise on small changes that can help you adjust around mealtimes, getting ready in the morning and making sure your child gets to participate in the household chores and fun social activities.
Providing a range of great ideas for techniques to improve written communication, working on problem solving, memory and concentration, we can also identify where adapting household appliances and features may take the stress out of tasks that currently feel difficult.
With a holistic approach to wellness a registered occupational therapist can ensure that your child gets the most out of every day.
