Paediatric Occupational Therapy
All About Therapy now offers paediatric occupational therapy services across North-Western Tasmania. Led by experienced Occupational Therapist Kate Berchtold, we work with children, families, schools and support teams to build the skills needed for everyday life.
Our Approach
Our approach is neuroaffirming, family-centred and strengths-based. We focus on helping children participate successfully in the activities that matter most to them at home, school and in their community.
Whether your child needs support with daily routines, learning, play, emotional regulation, sensory processing or independence, we provide practical strategies tailored to their individual needs and goals.
Occupational therapy supports children to develop the skills needed for everyday activities, including:
- Fine motor skills such as handwriting, drawing and using scissors
- Gross motor skills, coordination and body awareness
- Sensory processing and sensory regulation
- Attention, concentration and classroom participation
- Emotional regulation and coping strategies
- Play and social participation
- Self-care skills such as dressing, eating and toileting
- Independence at home, school and in the community
- School transitions and educational participation
- Assistive technology and environmental adaptations
