Occupational Therapy

Our Occupational Therapists work with children and young people who are blind/vision impaired and/or deaf/hearing impaired to promote development and stimulate learning.
The therapist can work with children and young people, and their families on an individual basis at home, school, or in the community to assist them in the following areas:

• Hand skills: e.g. handwriting, drawing, cutting


• Posture during activities


• Sensory processing (how they respond to visual and auditory information, movement, touch, and information about the position of their body)


• Gross motor and fine motor coordination


• Problem solving, planning and organisational skills


• Independent living skills: e.g. self care, home tasks

Referrals

Children who are blind/vision impaired and/or deaf/hearing impaired can be referred to the occupational therapy service by their parents, teachers, or other professionals working with them.

Auditory Processing Disorder Intervention Clinic

Our Auditory Processing Disorders Intervention Clinic provides therapy which targets listening, language, literacy and memory skills for children with Auditory Processing Disorders (APD).

An assessment of your child’s abilities in these areas will be completed in order to find the specific skills they are experiencing difficulty with.

Therapy sessions will then target these skills using fun and motivating activities to help your child learn and develop the skills and strategies they need to have greater success with learning at home and in the classroom.
