Goal driven
Our therapy services are designed to be provided within the child's natural environment. By bringing therapy to the child's familiar surroundings, we aim to create a comfortable and effective environment for them to learn and grow.
Steps OTKids Therapists have years of experience and are kept up to date with the latest research and trainings. We are dedicated to providing the best therapy possible for your child. Trust us to provide the support and guidance your family needs.
We believe that therapy is a team approach which is why we work together with teachers, other professionals, team members, and family members to help the child achieve their goals.
We are dedicated to making sure your child achieves; by developing realistic and achievable goals to ensure your child gets the most out of occupational therapy. Our team of experts is committed to providing personalised care and support to ensure your child's success.
What We Help With...
Every child has their own pace and path - and we’re here to support that journey.

-
Gross motor skills
-
Emotional regulation
-
Sensory processing
-
Attention and concentration
-
School readiness & transitions
-
Social participation

Daily routines (e.g. dressing, toileting, mealtimes)
-
Executive functioning (e.g. skills for planning, organising, and following through on tasks at school and home).

How It Works: Our Step-by-Step Process
Here's how we begin working together, how we explore and build your child's confidence and skills. and how we support and celebrate your child's progress over time.
Parent / Guardian
meets with the OT
(in person or online) to understand your concerns, & answer any questions.
The OT observes your child in their natural environment to understand your child’s strengths & needs.
One-to-one session
with your child to gather meaningful insights into how they move, think, interact, and regulate.
Summary of findings & suggested plan provided, including goals tailored to your child’s developmental journey.
Therapy sessions begin! Regular updates, ideas for home, and collaborative support provided along the way.
We understand every child's journey is unique.
Some steps may take longer, repeat, or look a little different and that's okay. We walk alongside you at the pace that's right for your child and your family.
We make therapy fun, engaging, and tailored to your child’s unique strengths.
