Therapy support focused on sensory processing, motor development, self-care skills, play, attention, and everyday functional independence.
Occupational therapy (OT) at Lifecare supports children in building the skills needed for play, school, self-care, and family participation. Sessions are child-led, sensory-aware, and parent-included, with practical strategies you can carry into daily routines at home.
Care is delivered as a sequence — not a one-time appointment. Here is how a typical programme flows.
A short observation and parent interview to understand strengths and current concerns.
Practical goals are agreed with parents — e.g., feeding independence, school-readiness, sensory regulation.
Weekly or twice-weekly sessions of 45–60 minutes, depending on age and goals.
Each session ends with home routines so progress continues between visits.
Honest, practical answers to questions we hear most often before booking this service.
Physiotherapy focuses on movement and strength. Occupational therapy focuses on the skills needed for daily activities — play, learning, self-care, and participation. The two often complement each other.
For young children, parents are usually present. Older children may have part of the session independently with a parent debrief at the end.
It depends on goals, age, and how quickly the child responds. Most children begin with a 3-month review and progress is reassessed before continuing.
Many families combine this service with one or two others for a complete care plan.
Our team will help you understand whether this service is right for your child or family, and walk you through what a first visit looks like.
