DoingOT Occupational therapy for children who need coaching to do what they want to do, need to do and are expected to do. At home, school and the community.

Occupational therapy focuses on the day-to-day activities relevant to a child's developmental age and interests. Occupational therapy promotes positive emotional wellbeing, prevents mental health issues developing or restores mental health and wellbeing. Because occupational therapy is activity-focused it appeals to a range of ages: from very young who struggle to understand complex concepts in discussion, to adolescents who may be reluctant to engage in talking therapies. Occupational therapy is a non-threatening modality for approaching challenging situations and enabling children to reach their potential. Some ways that occupational therapy can help:

* Coach a child with autism to participate in playground games

* Enable those with school related anxiety to return to school, including developing sleep hygiene skills

* Assess and develop motor skills, including fine motor skills (such as handwriting) or gross motor skills affected by Dyspraxia
