Service details

cohealth Occupational Therapists can provide assessment, support, and advice for children in the following areas:

• Fine motor skills (such as holding a pencil, drawing pictures, using scissors)
• Gross motor skills (such as planning and coordinating body movements)
• Sensory processing (for example, how a child responds to something they touch, hear, see, feel, or taste)
• Visual-perceptual skills (for example, making sense of the things they see)
• Attention and concentration skills
• Emotional regulation
• Self-care skills (such as being independent with eating, sleeping, dressing, bathing and toileting skills)
• Play and social interactions
• Thinking skills (for example problem-solving and organisational skills).

We can work with children in one-on-one sessions, groups with other children, or through visits to childcare centres or kindergartens, as needed.

We also educate parents and educators, empowering them to provide ongoing support for children.
