Helping Children Build Skills for Life
At Look Who’s Talking SLP, we understand that every child develops at their own pace — and some may need extra support to confidently engage in everyday activities. Our paediatric occupational therapy is designed to help children build the physical, emotional, sensory, and cognitive skills they need to thrive at home, school, and in the community.
From difficulty with handwriting and fine motor skills to challenges with attention, sensory processing, and emotional regulation, our OTs work closely with families to create practical, child-led therapy plans. Whether you’re seeking support through the NDIS or privately, our team offers flexible and compassionate occupational therapy for children in Sinagra and the surrounding areas.
If you’ve been searching for experienced, play-based occupational therapy in Sinagra and the northern suburbs of Perth, we’re here to help your child grow in confidence and independence, one step at a time.
Common Reasons to See a Paediatric OT
Our OTs support children who experience challenges with:
- Fine motor skills (e.g. using scissors, holding a pencil, tying shoelaces)
- Gross motor skills (e.g. balance, coordination, core strength)
- Sensory processing difficulties (e.g. sensitivity to sound, texture, movement)
- Self-care skills (e.g. dressing, toileting, feeding)
- Emotional regulation and managing big feelings
- Attention, focus and following routines
- School readiness and classroom participation
- Visual-motor integration (e.g. copying shapes, puzzles)
- Participation in play and social interactions
- Transitioning between activities or environments
Our children’s occupational therapy in the northern suburbs of Perth focuses on real-world outcomes — helping kids feel more capable and confident in their daily lives.
How We Help
Our occupational therapists begin with a comprehensive assessment to understand your child’s strengths, challenges, and goals. We then create a personalised therapy plan using a play-based approach that keeps children engaged and motivated.
Using evidence-based strategies including sensory integration therapy for kids in Sinagra, we support children in developing regulation, focus, strength, and coordination. We also offer OT school readiness programs in Perth’s northern suburbs, designed to build the foundational skills needed for classroom success — including sitting for longer periods, using tools, following instructions, and socialising with peers.
Whether your child is seeking NDIS occupational therapy in Sinagra or private OT support, we work closely with families, educators, and support teams to ensure consistent, meaningful progress in all areas of development.
FAQs – Paediatric Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapists help children build the skills they need for everyday life — such as playing, writing, getting dressed, managing emotions, or participating in school. It’s about promoting independence, confidence, and development.
