WE'RE HERE TO HELP

Paediatric Occupational Therapy

Mouthworks have occupational therapists who work exclusively with children. Using a play-based approach to therapy, MouthWorks occupational therapists base their sessions on kindness and make them fun and engaging for your child. For children, everything they do in the world involves occupation. We call it play. Whether your child is struggling with handwriting, emotions, completing daily tasks or other types of development delay, our occupational therapists can help with practical strategies that are fun and engaging for young minds.
