Our dedicated and highly experienced team at Sunshine Coast Occupational Therapy is committed to supporting your child’s development through personalised, evidence-based care—helping them thrive at every stage of growth.

Children all develop in their own time and at their own pace. However, it is common to worry about whether your child is keeping up with developmental milestones. Or perhaps your child’s developmental screening has flagged some areas that require extra support.

From motor skills to emotional regulation, occupational therapy helps you take part in daily activities like self-care, schoolwork, making friends, managing feelings, and play!

Our occupational therapists can help with:

  • Gross and fine motor skill development (sitting, crawling, throwing a ball, handwriting)
  • Self- care skills (dressing, eating, toileting)
  • Self-management skills (emotional regulation, sensory processing)
  • Learning skills (attention, concentration, executive functioning)
  • Social skills (engaging with others, play, making friends)
