Your child might need Occupational Therapy for a range of different reasons. This might include having trouble completing age appropriate tasks, self confidence and esteem, fine, gross or visual motor skills or become overwhelmed or angry easily and quickly.

If you have some concerns about your child’s function, learning and/or

  2. Is your child aggressive or have impulsive behaviour when overwhelmed by sensory stimulation?
  3. Does your child become upset by transitions and unexpected changes?
  4. Does your child show no, or little reaction, when physically hurt?
  5. Do they like crashing, bumping, jumping, spinning and/or rough housing?
  6. Do they often lick, suck or chew on non-food items such as pencil, hair and clothes?
  7. Are they clumsy, awkward, uncoordinated and/or accident – prone?
  8. Do they have difficulty with personal organisation?
