What is Paediatric Occupational Therapy?

iThrive Group Paediatric Occupational Therapy are dedicated to helping children develop the essential skills they need to thrive in daily life. Occupational therapy focuses on supporting children with challenges related to motor development, sensory processing, emotional regulation, attention, social skills, and independence in daily activities such as dressing, eating, and handwriting. Our therapists work with children of all abilities, including those who are neurodiverse or have conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, developmental delays, or physical disabilities. Through play-based therapy, structured interventions, and personalized strategies, we help children build confidence and independence at home, in school, and in the community. At iThrive Health, we believe in a neuroaffirming approach, celebrating each child’s strengths while providing the right tools and support to help them reach their full potential.
