Paediatric occupational therapy supports children from early childhood through to adolescence to build the skills they need for daily life, learning and play. At Evora Therapy in Brisbane we look at your child’s individual needs, such as sensory processing, motor coordination or school readiness, and help them develop the confidence and abilities to participate more fully at home, school and in the community.

You may consider occupational therapy if your child is having difficulty with everyday routines like dressing, handwriting, organisation, attention, self-regulation or coping with sensory input. Evora Therapy provides comprehensive assessments in Brisbane to help you understand whether therapy will support your child’s development and specific goals.

Our therapists use evidence-informed approaches in an engaging, playful environment to support skills such as emotional regulation, coordination, attention and daily living tasks.
