At Aurora Children's Therapy, we focus on helping children of all ages with physical, sensory, or cognitive challenges to be as independent as possible in all areas of their lives. These children may have a specific diagnosis i.e.  Down Syndrome, Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC), Global Developmental Delay, or may not yet be diagnosed or have a specific disability. I evaluate your child’s skills in a variety of areas that include play, school performance, and other daily activities.

Through a variety of play-based activities, as an occupational therapist, I can assess and provide therapy for the component areas in the performance of daily activities:

• Sensory: You child’s ability to interpret and organise information from the senses about their body and environment.
• Motor: Your child’s tone and strength, patterns of movement, posture, gross and fine motor function and hand-eye coordination.
• Cognitive: Your child’s arousal level and attention skills, initiation and planning of activity, problem solving and safety awareness.
• Psychosocial: The child’s self-esteem, motivation and social interaction.

By helping children improve their cognitive, physical, sensory, and motor skills; occupational therapy can enhance their self-esteem and sense of accomplishment.
