Wondering if Occupational Therapy could help your child?

Maybe you’ve noticed certain things…
but you’re not sure if it’s just a phase, or something that needs a bit of support.

That’s exactly what our free 30-minute Q&A is for.

You can ask about your child’s specific challenges, and get clear, honest guidance on whether OT might be helpful — or not.

No pressure, no commitment just real answers to help you feel more confident about your next step as a parent.

If your child struggles with fine motor skills, this one is for you.

Stringing macaroni onto a pipe cleaner is a deceptively simple activity that asks a lot of the brain and body simultaneously.

To do it well, your child needs refined finger control to pick up and thread each piece, visual tracking to follow the pipe cleaner from start to end, sustained concentration to maintain precision, and a controlled pace — because moving too fast breaks down hand-eye coordination and the whole task falls apart.

That is a lot of development happening over a bowl of pasta.

Try this at home. All you need is some macaroni and a pipe cleaner.

Meet Viné. Occupational Therapist. Programme Co-Facilitator. The Pattern Instructor.

The ball pit does not judge. Neither do we.

Sometimes the bravest thing a child can do is let someone hold their hand, while they find their courage.

Not every day is a ready day. Some days the world is too loud, too fast, too much.

On those days, connection is enough. They need someone to climb in beside them and say — I've got you.

Does your child hate writing… or are they struggling with something deeper?

Handwriting is not just about holding a pencil. It requires strong hands, bilateral coordination, motor planning, visual-motor integration, focused attention, and a regulated nervous system — all working together at the same time.

When one of these foundations is missing, writing becomes frustrating and avoided. Not because your child is not trying. Because the building blocks are not yet in place.

Swipe through and share this with any parent who has ever been told their child just needs to try harder.

Meet Jackie. Occupational Therapist. Practice Owner. Team Architect.

Behind every child's breakthrough is someone who believed it was possible before they did.

I started Jackie Collins Occupational Therapy because I believe every child deserves to be truly understood — not just assessed. Occupational therapy is not about fixing children. It is about understanding how they experience the world and giving them the tools to navigate it with confidence.

Whether your child is struggling with handwriting, sensory sensitivities, attention, coordination, or just not reaching milestones you expected — this is a safe, expert space for your whole family.

We are based in Vanderbijlpark and we would love to be part of your child's journey.
