Occupational Therapy
For Children

Paediatric Occupational Therapy

Are you worried that your child may not be reaching developmental milestones?

At Physio Inq, our paediatric occupational therapists help children and adolescents build the skills and confidence they need to participate fully in everyday lifem at home, at school and in the community.

We come to you with flexible in-home, clinic and telehealth occupational therapy for kids across Australia; including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide.

Whether your child needs support with fine motor skills, sensory regulation, self-care, or emotional development, we focus on practical, achievable goals that help your family thrive.

Paediatric Occupational Therapists work with children of all ages and their families to help children of all ages perform daily activities that they may find challenging by addressing sensory, social, behavioural, motor, and environmental issues.

Our OT’s utilise the latest research and technologies in their field to assess and design rehabilitation programs that are evidenced based, efficient and effective ensuring your child is always receiving first class services.

Paediatric OT's have specialist skills and experience in helping children through crucial periods of development with activities such as:

• Self care: dressing, bathing, using the toilet, eating, doing chores, making a snack and organising themselves. 
•  Play and leisure: playing alone or with others, imaginary play and participating in leisure/sport activities.
• School: tasks involved with participating in a learning environment such as concentrating, following instructions and handwriting and typing skills.

How Paediatric Occupational Therapy Helps

Our experienced OTs work with children and families to:

• Improve fine and gross motor coordination for everyday activities.
• Build independence in self-care (e.g., dressing, eating, toileting).
• Support sensory processing, attention and emotional regulation.
• Enhance handwriting, play and social interaction skills.
• Create supportive home and school environments for participation.

Each program is individualised, ensuring every child feels empowered to feel stronger, move better, think clearer.

Physio Inq OT’s will set goals with your family and child, and support your child to achieve these goals by: 

• Helping your child to build their skills through targeted and fun activities. 
• Providing you with specialist advice and support to adjust your child's activity or environment, in order to help your child to participate better. This could involve supporting your child with specialist equipment. 
• Providing guidance to you and to other important people in your child's life, such as teachers, so that you know how to support your child to reach their potential every day. 

We will assist you and your family in any way that can improve daily function and activities. After an initial assessment, your Physio Inq OT will coordinate with you, other relevant professionals, carers, and family members to assist in developing a treatment plan and strategy that is best suited.
