Child OT FAQs
What does occupational therapy do for a child?
It helps children develop the motor, sensory, and cognitive skills needed for playing, learning, self-care (like dressing), and socialising, turning challenges into strengths through engaging activities.
What are the signs my child might need an occupational therapist?
Struggles with handwriting, using utensils, or tying shoes; oversensitivity to sounds/textures; poor coordination; difficulty following routines; or challenges interacting with peers.
How are parents involved in the therapy process?
You are a key partner! I provide regular updates, practical home strategies, and parent coaching to ensure progress continues beyond our sessions.
How long does a child typically need therapy?
It varies based on individual goals. We begin with a focused block of therapy, followed by regular reviews to measure progress and adjust the plan as needed.
Is child occupational therapy in Johannesburg covered by medical aid?
Most medical aids in South Africa provide cover for OT.
