Childworks Occupational Therapy for Children

Occupational Therapy for Children Northern Suburbs of Sydney
Childworks is a paediatric occupational therapy (OT) practice based in Dural in Northern Sydney. Our focus is providing comprehensive and affordable occupational therapy for children.

Austism Spectrum Disorder

This diagnosis covers a range of pervasive developmental disorders characterised by a combination of difficulties with social interaction, communication and restricted behaviour. This can make life and learning difficult! Occupational Therapy can help to address specific issues a child may be having with respect to their normal daily routine and participation in activities. Read more on our blog.

Handwriting

If your child is struggling at school then handwriting difficulty may be one of the issues. Handwriting requires a complex skill set involving a combination of physical, perceptual, cognitive and sensory processing components. most of us take these skills for granted! But some children struggle to put everything together and that is where occupational therapy for children can help.

Even in our modern computer age, it is still vitally important to develop and maintain good handwriting skills.

School Readiness

Are you concerned about your child’s school readiness. Childworks can assess your per-schooler in relation to their school readiness. If required, a therapy programme would be directed toward developing the skills your child needs to thrive at school from the very first day.

How does Childworks help?

When you bring your child to Childworks, we assess your child individually using internationally recognised, practical tests and games designed to highlight any l issues your child may have. We also use clinical observation. We then create a comprehensive programme based on your child’s strengths and weaknesses as well as the needs of the family. We implement this programme over a series of one-on-one sessions.

We work closely with parents, school teachers, school counsellors and doctors to implement the programme. We ensure the child’s progress carries over to school and home environments.

Experience and Registration

Our therapists are experienced and are fully registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). They have degrees in occupational therapy and are full and active members of Occupational Therapy Australia. We participate in regular training programmes to ensure that we are up to date with the most recent research and techniques.
