How Occupational Therapy can help
Play
Play is how children learn and interact with their world and supports children to explore, engage, use their imagination and begin making decisions.
Child Development
Therapy that’s focused on building a foundation for children’s development and helping them learn new skills in play, communication, social connection, movement and behaviour, thinking and solving problems.
School Readiness
Prepare for the big transition to school by building skills around thinking, language, following directions, self-regulation, drawing and writing, playing with others and much more.
Social Skills
Through relationships we learn important information about our world. This includes conversation and social connection, thinking, making friends, getting along with peers, self-regulation and understanding social concepts.
Physical Skills
Learn how to use your body in ways that are useful to you. This includes fine motor and gross motor skills like crawling, walking, jumping, climbing and moving in other ways.
Interests and Leisure
Hobbies and interests help us discover our passions and strengths. An OT will assist you to know your strengths, explore new activities and overcome barriers to joining in the activities you love.
Equipment and Assistive Technology
Equipment can assist you to join in everyday activities or complete a task more easily or safely. Equipment can include assistive technology, seats, tables, wheelchairs, kitchen utensils and more!
Sensory Regulation
We experience the world through sensations. An OT can assist you to understand your sensory preferences and needs in different places and spaces.
Life Transitions
Big transitions can be a challenging. Whether it's finishing school, moving out of home, or starting a new job, OT can help you prepare and feel ready for those important changes.
Self-care
Self-care is about doing well at keeping well and looking after your health. It is about putting your needs first and caring for your body and mind for a healthier life.
Home and Environment
Make your home and the places you spend time work for you and your safety. This can include building skills around independence or making changes to your home and living situation.
Assessments and Reports
An OT will work on understanding your abilities and what you need. They’ll help you determine what’s important to you and form a therapy plan that’s tailored to your needs. They can also provide a Functional Capacity Assessment.

Whether this is work, play, self-care or recreation, occupational therapists work with their clients to understand their goals and motivations and overcome any barriers to participating in the activities you need and want to do.
Functional capacity refers to a person’s ability to do their daily tasks and activities.
