What Occupational Therapists Do

Occupational therapists help people take part in the daily activities that are important to them – at home, at school or work and elsewhere.

Some people have difficulties with doing the things they want or have to do because they have physical, learning or mental health needs.

Occupational Therapists help people take part in activities and routines such as:

Self care activities – getting dressed, eating and sleeping
Productive occupations – working, learning, travelling, life skills
Play and leisure – playing with or going out with friends and family, and doing sports and hobbies

What is Paediatric Occupational Therapy?

Paediatric occupational therapy is specifically designed to meet the unique developmental needs of children and adolescents. It addresses challenges in areas such as sensory processing, physical and cognitive skills, perception, emotional regulation, and self-management that may affect a young person’s ability to carry out daily tasks independently.

Occupational therapists often work with children experiencing developmental delays, physical disabilities, sensory processing difficulties, or other conditions that impact their growth and everyday participation.

At Milestones Paediatric Occupational Therapy, we specialise in supporting neurodivergent children and adolescents, creating a safe, supportive environment that celebrates each child’s individuality while helping them achieve their goals.

Why Occupational Therapy Might Be Needed

Every child develops at their own pace, but sometimes extra support can make a world of difference.
