Occupational therapy
Occupational Therapists support individuals and families to participate in the activities of their daily life. These activities may include self-care tasks, playing with others, fine motor and gross motor activities and engaging in school or work tasks. Occupational Therapists work with individuals to develop the skills needed to engage in functional activities, whilst also considering adaptation of tasks and the environment. They also support the understanding of an individuals sensory preferences and differences that impact upon the tasks they need to engage in.
