Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about paediatric occupational therapy
What's the difference between OT and physiotherapy?
While both help children develop skills, OT focuses more on daily living activities, fine motor skills, and sensory processing, while physiotherapy emphasizes gross motor skills and physical mobility.
How do I know if my child needs occupational therapy?
If your child struggles with self-care tasks, handwriting, attention, sensory processing, or play skills compared to peers, an OT evaluation may be beneficial.
What does a typical OT session look like?
Sessions are play-based and may include sensory activities, fine motor tasks, self-care practice, and therapeutic exercises - all tailored to your child's needs and interests.
Will OT help with my child's handwriting?
Yes! OTs address the underlying skills needed for handwriting including hand strength, pencil grip, and visual-motor coordination through fun, engaging activities.
How can I support my child's OT goals at home?
Your therapist will provide specific home activities and environmental modifications. Consistency with these recommendations greatly enhances progress.
