What is an Occupational Therapist

An Occupational Therapist is a trained professional who can support children to have successful and satisfying experiences in their daily activities, including:

  • Child care or pre-school activities for e.g. playing, drawing, group activities

  • Self-care routines e.g. dressing, feeding, toileting

  • Movement activities e.g. walking, climbing, ball skills, using play equipment

 Occupational Therapy at BCRG

The Occupational Therapy service at BCRG is funded by ClubsNSW. The Occupational Therapist provides relationship based therapy with the BCRG Speech Pathologist in a group called Communication Sense-ation.

 

NB. We also offer private Occupational Therapy services through the BCRG Kids Clinic.
