Occupational Therapy
At Boyne Healthcare, our dedicated team of occupational therapists is committed to helping children participate confidently in day-to-day activities. Whether improving fine motor skills, addressing sensory processing concerns, or guiding through self-care skills such as toilet training, we customise our support to meet the individual needs of every child.
1. Development of fine motor skills: we concentrate on nurturing the adept use of hand and finger muscles essential for daily tasks.
Our program is designed to refine your child's ability to write clearly, use utensils properly, and perform other tasks demanding fine motor precision,
such as cutting with scissors or fastening buttons and zippers. These exercises aim to sharpen their skill and coordination while fostering a sense of
independence and self-assurance
2. Sensory processing: Sensory processing is fundamental to how children perceive and react to the world around them. At Boyne Healthcare, we recognise
the importance of this area and provide specialised strategies to help children navigate sensory challenges. Our services aim to improve sensory integration,
enabling smoother interactions with various environments. We offer individualised activities to support sensory processing skills such as touch, sound, and movement,
equipping them with the skills to cope with sensory stimuli in everyday situations. This enhanced sensory processing support can lead to better focus, emotional regulation,
and participation in daily activities, contributing to a more balanced and fulfilling experience for the child.
3. Daily care skills, including toilet training: We equip families with proven techniques and advice to guide children through the crucial toilet training process as part of
self-care independence
Furthermore, Our Occupational Therapists play an essential role in diagnostic assessments for Autism Spectrum Disorder, Developmental Coordination Disorder, and Dyslexia, helping to identify each child's specific needs.
