Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapists work with individuals to help increase independence and participation in everyday activities, supporting them to reach their full potential. Occupational Therapists assess and develop skills in the areas of self-care, sleep, feeding, behaviour, attention, regulation, fine motor, gross motor, play, social participation, visual motor, sensory processing, emotional regulation and throughout life transitions.

At NextPath, we use an individual’s strengths and interests to support their functional participation. We work with individuals who may be living with developmental delay, sensory processing difficulties, ADD/HD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Cerebral Palsy, chromosomal disorders, trauma, anxiety and many other conditions.

We offer occupational therapy (OT) from birth through to young adulthood. If you are interested in our OT services, contact us.
