🚩 Could your child benefit from Occupational Therapy?

Every child develops at their own pace, but sometimes certain challenges may indicate that additional support could be helpful.

Some common Occupational Therapy referral red flags include:

✏️ Difficulties with handwriting, scissors, or fine motor skills

🏃 Challenges with balance, coordination, running, jumping, or catching a ball

🎯 Difficulty paying attention, following instructions, or staying on task

⚡ Hyperactivity, impulsivity, or constantly being "on the go"

👀 Visual processing difficulties that impact reading, copying, puzzles, or spatial awareness

🧠 Sensory concerns such as being overly sensitive (or under-responsive) to sounds, touch, movement, clothing, or food textures

🤕 Frequent bumps, trips, falls, or appearing unusually clumsy

🍴 Feeding difficulties including chewing, swallowing, picky eating, or utensil use

👕 Challenges with dressing, toileting, personal hygiene, or other self-care skills

🤝 Difficulties making friends, understanding social cues, or participating in play

Recognising these signs early can help children receive the support they need to build confidence, independence, and success in everyday activities.

If you have concerns about your child's development, our Occupational Therapists are here to help. 💜

🗣️ From first babbles to complex conversations — speech development is a journey, not a race.

Our latest blog explores what typical communication looks like from infancy through to the school years, and when to seek support if things feel off track.

Whether you're a new parent wondering about milestones, or navigating concerns with an older child, there's something here for you.
