Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy helps children with the things they need and want to do each day, from holding a pencil and getting dressed to coping with a noisy classroom.

Questions parents ask
What is sensory processing?
It is how the brain makes sense of touch, sound, movement and other sensations. Some children feel these more or less strongly, which can affect behaviour, focus and comfort.
Will you share strategies with my child’s school?
With your permission, yes. Consistent support across home and school tends to make strategies easier for children to use.
