Some may wonder why occupational therapy has been recommended for their child when they are too young to have a job. However, children do have jobs – self-care, play, and learning! When children have physical, sensory, or cognitive challenges they may have difficulties engaging in their everyday occupations. Occupational therapists help children to build their functional capacity in order to complete these tasks as independently and effectively as possible. 

​

Occupational Therapists at Kids Start Therapy utilise a play-based approach to maintain their attention, enhance their motivation to engage, improve their therapeutic outcomes and most importantly - to let kids be kids, even throughout therapy.
