Our paediatric occupational therapists assist children in performing “occupations” with the greatest level of independence possible. Childhood occupations include learning in school and playing with friends.
Here at NAPA Centre Australia, we provide paediatric occupational therapy for children of all ages to help them achieve their full potential. Our highly experienced and dedicated paediatric occupational therapists take a developmental approach to address areas of physical ability (fine and gross motor skills), sensory processing and modulation, handwriting skills, visual motor skills, and self-help skills. We use a wide range of therapeutic equipment and techniques to best help your child achieve his or her goals. Parents are also encouraged to participate in therapy sessions as they are an integral part of the child’s treatment.
Occupational therapy can benefit children with a wide variety of diagnoses, including but not limited to:
At NAPA Centre, we understand that your child is unique with very specific needs. For this reason, we provide individualised therapy sessions for each child. We offer both traditional weekly paediatric occupational therapy and our renowned intensive therapy programs at our Australian clinics in Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne, as well as in our locations across the US and UK. If you think your child or loved one may benefit from paediatric occupational therapy at NAPA, please contact our team to begin the journey to creating an individualised therapy solution!
