Children's Occupational Therapy - Gold Coast
I CAN,
if given the chance.
Occupational therapists work with children who may have physical, developmental, sensory, or cognitive challenges that affect their everyday life.
The goal of children’s occupational therapy is to promote independence, improve functional abilities, enhance social interactions, and support overall well-being in children from infancy through adolescence.
Do you feel your child is academically underachieving?
information, look clumsy in their movement and postures, have difficultly paying attention, holding a pen or following instructions.
Our entire brain structure is intimately connected to and grown by the movement mechanisms within our body.
Our job is to help ‘re-wire’ these connections so that these academic skills can be accessed.
Learning is not just in our heads.
“A well-trained nervous system is the greatest friend a mind can have.”
How learning happens?
Learning happens in a sequential pattern – if the underlying foundation skill is not there you can not build on it. Cognition and intellect are not engaged for learning.
If your child’s vestibular system is underdeveloped due to middle ear infections, they may miss postural security, then perceptual motor development is not automatic and they then have trouble sitting still at school.
Occupational therapy for children should address the underlying area of concern. The Centre of Movement has a range of modalities, equipment and sensory apparatus to ensure your child climbs this pyramid of learning!
