Occupational therapy aims to support children and young people to improve their everyday functioning in a way that is meaningful to the individual. Each client works closely with their therapist to determine their specific challenges, identify strengths and work together to achieve their goals. Commonly, occupational therapists at Sensational Healing Allied Health work with clients who are experiencing difficulties in:

• Gross and fine motor skill development 
• Sensory processing including sensory avoidance or sensory seeking behaviours 
• Executive function challenges and learning difficulties 
• Social skill difficulties
• Challenges with emotional regulation 
• Difficulties with activities of daily living such as performing personal care tasks or developing independent living skills
• Daily functioning because of the impact of mental illness or mental health issues
