Our Services

Occupational therapy services provide support to individuals from various age groups across the lifespan, of all backgrounds, and of all needs, to reach goals. Littleversity is a paediatric service with a focus on early development and intervention, therefore we service young children through to about age 12. 

Occupational Therapists work alongside the individual (and in many cases, their parents/caregivers or other key supports) to achieve goals and participate in life activities (aka, occupations) that they are expected, needing, or wanting to do. For children, this may include:

• Mobility (including fine and gross motor skills, and primitive reflex integration)
• Self-care activities (such as, grooming, hygiene, dressing and toileting)
• Learning and cognitive skills (including handwriting, time management and attention/focus)
• Play, leisure and social skills (such as, manners, winning and losing skills, group work)
• Self-management activities (such as, building and engaging in routines, emotional and sensory regulation).

As play is a child’s main occupation, goal and skill development is built into play. So, whilst it might just look a lot like fun and games, rest assured Littleversity Occupational Therapists purposefully select activities that will keep your child engaged, keen for learning and working towards their goals.
