    What is Occupational Therapy?

    Occupational therapy uses everyday activities (occupations) to help people participate fully in life. For children, this means supporting them to build and M.A.T.C.H the skills they need to learn, play, socialise, and be more independent in their daily routines. We do this through Modifying the task, Alter expectations, Teach Strategies, Change the Environment and Help by Understanding.
