EMPOWERING CHILDREN TO GROW, LEARN, AND THRIVE

Paediatric Occupational Therapy

At Happy Breeze Therapy Services, our Paediatric Occupational Therapy is designed to help children overcome developmental, physical, sensory, or cognitive challenges that impact their daily lives. Whether it’s improving fine motor skills, managing sensory sensitivities, or building independence in self-care and learning, we create a fun, supportive environment where children feel confident and motivated. Each session is personalized, play-based, and goal-oriented—designed not only to build essential life skills but also to foster joy, self-esteem, and long-term success. Together with families, we help children reach their full potential at home, in school, and in the community.

What is Paediatric Occupational Therapy and how can it help my child?

Paediatric Occupational Therapy focuses on helping children develop the necessary skills to participate in daily life activities such as play, learning, dressing, feeding, and socializing. Children may face challenges due to developmental delays, physical conditions, sensory sensitivities, or cognitive differences. Our therapists use fun, goal-oriented activities to enhance your child’s motor skills, attention, behavior, and independence—ultimately helping them thrive at home, in school, and in social settings.

What signs indicate that my child might need occupational therapy?

Every child develops at their own pace, but if you notice persistent difficulties in areas such as fine motor tasks (e.g., holding a pencil, buttoning a shirt), gross motor coordination (e.g., balance, climbing), sensory regulation (e.g., sensitivity to noise, touch, or textures), or attention and focus, it might be time to consult a paediatric occupational therapist. We conduct thorough assessments to understand your child’s unique strengths and challenges before beginning therapy.

What happens during an occupational therapy session?

Our sessions are designed to be child-friendly, play-based, and engaging. Depending on your child’s needs, a session may include activities like puzzles, obstacle courses, arts and crafts, or movement games—all chosen to target specific developmental goals. We focus on making therapy enjoyable, while systematically building your child’s functional skills. Progress is tracked regularly, and goals are updated as your child grows and improves.

How involved are parents in the therapy process?

Parents and caregivers play a vital role in a child’s success. We believe in a collaborative, family-centered approach. You’ll receive regular updates, guidance on home-based activities, and strategies to support your child’s development in everyday situations. Our therapists are always available to discuss concerns and celebrate milestones with you along the way.

How do I get started with Happy Breeze Therapy Services?

We’ll begin with a comprehensive assessment to understand your child’s developmental profile, followed by a personalized therapy plan tailored to their needs. Our friendly team will walk you through each step, ensuring a smooth, supportive, and encouraging journey for both you and your child.
