Advance Occupational Therapy

Advance Occupational Therapy is a bespoke Occupational Therapy service which considers each client's requirements on an individual basis.

You will be seen by the owner of Advance Occupational Therapy, Prarthna Bhuta, during your child's sessions. Parent education and customised individualised OT programs for the various environments that the child interacts in are some of the unique features of the service at Advance Occupational Therapy. This makes the the OT sessions at Advance Occupational Therapy personalised and unique when compared to larger occupational therapy centres.

As Daylight Saving Time ends today, many families are adjusting to the time change. We understand this transition can be challenging for children, especially those with sensory sensitivities or developmental needs. Changes in routine and sleep patterns can affect how your child processes their environment and participates in daily activities.

At Advance Occupational Therapy, we recognize that every child responds differently to these transitions. Some children may experience increased difficulty with focus, coordination, or emotional regulation during this adjustment period. This is completely normal, and you are not alone in navigating these challenges.

Our personalized occupational therapy approach considers how environmental changes like time shifts impact your child's daily routines. We work closely with families to develop strategies that support smooth transitions and help children adapt to schedule changes with greater ease.

Remember, it may take a few days or even weeks for your child to fully adjust to the new time. Be patient with yourself and your child during this period of change.

How is your family managing the time change transition this year?

Jump, step, balance… and play! 🎈

Does your child struggle with loud noises, certain textures, or busy environments? You're not alone, and there's support available.

Sensory integration therapy helps children process and respond to sensory information more effectively. This can make everyday activities—like getting dressed, eating meals, or playing with friends—much easier and more enjoyable for your child.

At Advance Occupational Therapy, we take a holistic approach to sensory challenges. We don't just work on symptoms; we look at the whole picture of your child's life. Our bespoke service means each session is tailored specifically to what your child needs right now.

As an NDIS registered provider, we make professional occupational therapy affordable and accessible for families in the Norwest area. We're here to walk alongside you, providing the expertise and compassion your family deserves.

How does your child respond to different sensory experiences in their daily life?

23/03/2026

Larger therapy centres can feel overwhelming and impersonal. We understand that your child isn't just another appointment on a busy schedule—they're an individual with their own story, needs, and potential.

That's what makes Advance Occupational Therapy different. When you work with us, you'll see the same therapist every time—Prarthna Bhuta, who owns and runs the practice. This consistency builds trust, allows for deeper understanding, and creates better outcomes for your child.

We provide comprehensive parent education because we believe you should feel confident supporting your child between sessions. Our individualised programs are designed for the real environments where your child lives and learns, making progress more natural and sustainable.

Whether you need professional support for developmental delays, coordination challenges, or daily living skills, we're here with expertise and heart. Our NDIS registered service brings advanced occupational therapy techniques with a personal touch.

What matters most to you when choosing an occupational therapist for your child?

Every child deserves to feel comfortable in their own body 💙

For many autistic children, everyday sensations can feel overwhelming. The sound of a vacuum cleaner might feel too loud. Certain clothing textures might feel uncomfortable. Bright lights might seem too intense.

This is where sensory integration comes in. It helps children process and respond to sensory information in ways that support their daily life and self-regulation.

When children can better manage their sensory experiences, they often feel calmer and more confident. They can focus better on learning and playing. They can enjoy activities that once felt challenging.

At Advance Occupational Therapy, we understand that every child is unique. We work closely with families to create supportive environments where children can thrive.

Small steps can lead to big changes in a child's daily comfort and happiness.

What sensory activities does your child enjoy most? ✨

When your child with ADHD feels overwhelmed, their sensory system might be the key to understanding why. 🧠

Children with ADHD often struggle with processing sensory information. This can make emotions feel bigger and harder to manage. Simple sounds, textures, or lights might trigger strong reactions.

Here's how sensory integration helps:
Creates calm through organized sensory input Builds better self-awareness of emotions Teaches coping strategies for overwhelming moments Improves focus and attention naturally
At Advance Occupational Therapy, we see how the right sensory support transforms daily life. When children understand their sensory needs, they gain tools to regulate their emotions more effectively.

Every child deserves to feel understood and supported. 💙

Early intervention can make all the difference in a child's development journey 💙

Research shows that occupational therapy support in the early years helps children build essential skills when their brains are most adaptable. From fine motor skills to sensory processing, early intervention gives children the foundation they need to thrive.

At Advance Occupational Therapy, we understand how important these early years are for your child's growth. Our evidence-based approach focuses on what works best for each unique child and family.
