Paediatric Occupational Therapy in Toowoomba
Helping your child build the skills they need for everyday life
Occupational therapy helps your child gain independence in daily activities like brushing teeth, dressing, managing emotions, and participating confidently at school and home. Suitable for children aged 3 – 18, we partner with you and your family to set meaningful, personalised goals aligned with your child’s needs.
Develop practical skills that ease everyday routines
When children struggle with self-care tasks, emotional regulation, or social participation, these challenges can make family life stressful and impact your child’s confidence.
​
We provide clear, structured therapy designed to break down these challenges into achievable steps, supporting your child’s progress in a way that fits your family’s life and goals.
