Occupational Therapy for Kids
Occupational therapy for kids focuses on helping children build the skills they need for everyday life. At Quad Care, our paediatric occupational therapists work with children who may face challenges with play, self-care, handwriting, attention, or social interaction.
Through fun, play-based activities, our therapists support children to strengthen fine-motor, sensory, and emotional skills that are essential for school and home life.
How Occupational Therapy Helps Children
Children learn best through play, and that’s exactly how we deliver therapy at Quad Care. Our occupational therapy for kids sessions are designed to be engaging and meaningful, helping children develop skills such as:
- Fine motor control – cutting, writing, and buttoning clothes
- Gross motor skills – coordination, balance, and body awareness
- Sensory processing – managing noise, touch, and movement sensitivities
- Self-care independence – dressing, feeding, and daily routines
- Emotional regulation – recognising feelings and coping with frustration
Every session is tailored to the child’s needs, strengths, and goals — so therapy feels like play, not a task.
Therapy for Kids Parents or teachers might notice a child:
- Struggles to keep up with handwriting or classroom tasks
- Has trouble focusing or sitting still
- Avoids textures or movements others enjoy
- Finds it difficult to manage daily routines independently
If any of these sound familiar, occupational therapy for kids could help. Early support allows children to develop essential skills for learning, play, and social confidence.
The Quad Care Approach
At Quad Care, our paediatric OTs combine evidence-based strategies with creativity and compassion. We work closely with families, schools, and other health professionals to ensure consistent progress across all environments.
Our services are available in our Woodford community hub, as well as through home and school visits across the Sunshine Coast and Moreton Bay.
We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to grow, explore, and achieve — and our occupational therapy for kids programs are designed to make that happen.
