Practical home strategies are provided for parents.

When Might Your Child Benefit From Occupational Therapy?

Occupational therapy may support children across Urunga and the surrounding Mid North Coast who are navigating autism, ADHD, developmental delay or other neurodivergent profiles. We look at the everyday challenges your child is experiencing and how therapy can help them participate more fully at home, school and in the community. Some common reasons families reach out include:

• Emotional regulation and transitions: Difficulty managing big emotions, moving between activities, or coping with changes in routine.
• Sensory processing differences: Heightened sensitivity to sounds, textures or movement, or seeking extra sensory input throughout the day.
• Daily living skills: Challenges with dressing, mealtimes, toileting or establishing age-appropriate routines.
• Fine and gross motor skills: Difficulties with handwriting, using cutlery, coordination, balance or ball skills.
• School readiness: Building the foundational skills for a confident start to preschool or primary school.
• Play and social participation: Developing confidence in play, friendships and joining in with peers.
