Supporting Children from Enfield
Childhood involves rapid development across communication, movement, learning, social interaction and independence.
Sometimes children need additional support in one or more of these areas.
A child may benefit from Speech Pathology or Occupational Therapy if they are experiencing difficulty with areas such as communicating their ideas, understanding language, producing speech sounds, reading and writing, handwriting, coordination, sensory processing, emotional regulation, attention or everyday routines.
Our therapists work with families to identify meaningful goals and develop strategies that can be incorporated into everyday activities.
Handwriting, Fine Motor Skills and School Readiness
Handwriting requires much more than simply holding a pencil.
Children draw on fine motor strength, coordination, visual-motor skills, motor planning, attention and postural control when completing classroom writing activities.
Our Occupational Therapists can assess the skills underlying handwriting and help children develop strategies for greater confidence and participation in classroom tasks.
Support may include pencil control, letter formation, fine motor development, visual-motor integration, motor planning and strategies for managing the physical demands of writing.
Learn more about Ready, Set, Write, our school readiness program.
Sensory Processing and Executive Functioning
Some children and teenagers experience difficulties processing sensory information or managing the organisational demands of everyday life.
Occupational Therapy may help develop strategies for sensory processing, emotional regulation and executive functioning.
Executive functioning skills include areas such as planning, organisation, working memory, flexible thinking, task initiation and managing time.
Support is individualised according to how these areas affect participation at home, school and in the community.
