Our occupational therapy department is dedicated to helping children build and refine the skills they need to succeed in their daily lives. Our occupational therapists work with children to enhance their fine motor skills, sensory processing, coordination, and self-care abilities. This support is crucial for tasks such as dressing, eating, writing, and playing. The therapy is highly individualized, with each child receiving a customized plan tailored to their specific needs and developmental stage. The goal is to empower children to be as independent and capable as possible in their everyday environments, whether at home, school, or in social settings.

Paediatric occupational therapists provide treatment to help children meet developmental milestones, overcome sensory challenges and improve self-care, play and self-regulation skills. In addition to working directly with children, our occupational therapists also collaborate with parents, providing strategies and resources to support the child’s progress in various settings. Our occupational therapists encourage children to write with a pencil, feed themselves and play with their peers.

At Future kids CDC, our team will help your child in the following areas:

  • Moving (fine motor skills like using the small muscles of their hands).
  • Learning (cognitive skills).
  • Playing (social and emotional skills).
  • Activities of daily living (dressing, feeding, toileting).
  • Skills needed for their education (pre-writing, writing and scissor skills).

Children (infants to teenagers) may need occupational therapy if they have:

  • A congenital (present at birth) condition that affects their physical or cognitive function.
  • A condition that affects their development.
  • A neurological condition, such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or cerebral palsy.
