Taking the first step into occupational therapy can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to navigate it alone. OTFC is here to help your child build confidence, independence, and essential life skills.
When to Consider Occupational Therapy
You might be reaching out because your young person:
- Has a new diagnosis (such as Autism, ADHD, or developmental delay) and needs a clear path forward.
- Has a referral from a GP, pediatrician, or allied health practitioner.
- Struggles with everyday tasks like handwriting, using cutlery, dressing, or self-care.
- Faces sensory or emotional barriers that make managing school or home environments difficult.
- Is limited in what they love to do, whether that is playing, making friends, or keeping up at school.
How OTFC can Help
In childhood, "occupations" are the everyday activities that allow kids to learn, play, and grow.
Our team works with families to deliver tailored, play-based therapy that builds motor skills, sensory regulation, and independence—giving you practical strategies to use at home and school.

Meet & Greet or Discovery Phone Consultation
Not sure if Occupational Therapy is right for you?
Our Discovery phone consultations and free Meet & Greet sessions are designed to help you determine if Occupational Therapy is the right fit for your young person.
During a Meet & Greet session, you will have the opportunity to meet with an experienced therapist to discuss your child's challenges, tour our facilities, and get clear, honest answers. From there, we can guide you toward the support that makes the most sense for your young person.
A Discovery call is an opportunity for a confidential discussion with our our Client Services Manager to better understand OTFC's services and how we can support you.
The Assessment Process
Ready to start therapy, or already have a referral?
An assessment is your first step.
Our assessment process includes:
- Caregiver Intake: A 1-hour initial consultation (in-clinic or virtual).
- Clinic Sessions: 1–2 practical sessions using standardized tools and clinical observation.
- Comprehensive Report: A tailored breakdown of findings and clear next steps.
At Occupational Therapy for Children, play underpins everything we do.
Scientists have determined that it takes approximately 400 repetitions to create a new synapse in the brain, unless it is done with play, in which case it takes between 10 and 20 repetitions.
The magic happens when our therapists make this play purposeful and effective.
