Occupational Therapy Kids in Geelong

How can Occupational Therapy Support?

Our Occupational Therapists support children aged 0–13 years to engage in the everyday activities that are meaningful to them, helping them participate as fully and confidently as possible. The term 'occupation' for children includes play, learning, social interactions, attending childcare or school, and self-care tasks such as feeding, dressing, and toileting.

Our goal is to support children to grow and develop new skills, to enable a greater understanding of themselves and their capabilities to participate successfully in daily life.  

We recognise that every child is unique, bringing their own strengths, interests, and areas for support. We take a child-led, family-centred approach, working in partnership with families to build skills, confidence, and connection supporting both children and their families to thrive.
