The Paediatric OT Clinic for Children is a free occupational therapy group intervention for children. The program includes weekly sessions during each term in Semester One each year which support children’s development in fine motor, sensory motor, visual perceptual, attention, and emotional regulation. The service aims to improve school participation and performance for children who are in the early years of primary school.
The Ready, Steady, School program is for children in kindergarten and pre-primary, and Ready, Steady, Succeed is for years 1, 2 and 3. Ready, Steady, Focus is aimed at children in years 1 – 3 who would benefit from intervention targeting their attention, focus, and emotional regulation skills.
