  Occupational Therapy - ASD enables children, adolescents, families and adults to reach their full potential through person/family centered, and practices. These are delivered by experienced registered health professionals. Our approach is flexible, collaborative and designed to meet your needs. We build on your strengths and provide you with the information you need so that you can make informed choices about the life you want to live. The aim of an occupational therapy session is to engage with the child to help them perform a wide range of play, self-care, social, and school-related activities to maximise the child's skills for living. As part of this process the OT might provide more structure for, or modify, the activities that the child finds difficult - for instance, dressing, playing with other children, or coping with change. Over time, the OT will also work with the child and family to assist the child to learn new ways of doing things and developing new skills. Occupational therapy sessions for a young child might involve: developing play skills that include social interaction, sharing, and taking turns; modelling and support for parents who are learning to interact and play with their child; teaching self-care activities like toileting, bathing, and feeding;engaging in activities to improve the child's fine and gross motor skills; behaviour management such as learning to sit and wait; and strategies and interventions that address sensory difficulties. For a school-aged child, an occupational therapy session might involve additional activities such as active movement, role-plays, stress reduction techniques, or participation in a social skills group with other children.
