Occupational Therapy

 

Occupational therapy is concerned with a person’s ability to participate in daily life activities, or ‘occupations’, and aims to improve the student’s performance of tasks and activities that are important for success at school, with a focus on independence and meaningful activity.

 

At Warringa Park School, the occupational therapists use their unique knowledge and skills to collaborate with, and educate teachers, parents, and other health and education professionals to support student development and well being, reduce barriers that may limit their participation within school and community environments, and use assistive technology to support student success.

 

The occupational therapists assist students to improve their performance in a variety of areas, including fine motor skills, social skills, daily living skills, and sensory programs by assisting students to generalise and break down core skills so they can reach their full potential.

 

OT's are also available to assist families in planning home modifications and accessing funding for wheelchairs and other adaptive equipment.
