Occupational Therapy At School in Adelaide: A School-Based Therapy to Develop Your Child's Skills & Confidence
Bridging Potentials offers occupational therapy at school in Adelaide to help your child develop the skills and confidence they need to succeed and thrive in life. Our paediatric occupational therapists (POTs) can work at your child’s school in Adelaide and surrounds. Just give us a call to finalise any arrangement for their one-on-one school-based session with our POTs.
We know that each child is unique. That’s why our POTs always strive to know the needs of your child. Having school-based therapy will give us an idea of the kind of support your child will need. Occupational therapy at school has many benefits, especially for busy families who have limited time to support their children after school.
By having school-based occupational therapy sessions, your child can get the support they need in their natural learning environment. We can work in close collaboration with teachers to ensure that the therapy goals of your child are aligned with their academics. Your child will be encouraged to apply the skills he learned in therapy to their daily academic life, from handwriting to social interactions.
Let the POTs in Bridging Potentials help you find the perfect educational setting for your child’s school-based therapy. It is important that your child finds a learning environment where growth, development, inclusivity, and overall well-being are supported. Call us for a consultation today: 0432 450 307.
Benefits of Occupational Therapy at School in Adelaide
Children can benefit from having occupational therapy at school in Adelaide. For one, POTs can determine, prevent, and address developmental delays and psychosocial difficulties early on and be able to come up with an early intervention plan.
Because a school is a social environment where children learn, POTs can devise a plan to develop your child’s social skills to manage challenges and their emotional well-being. When this plan is in effect, learning becomes more productive on the part of the child. It also reduces the strain on the teachers.
Bridging Potentials’ team of POTs are certified and trained to support children of all abilities, at school or home. That said, they are equipped to integrate therapeutic strategies into your child’s daily life so they can reach their full potential. This includes addressing a variety of needs that may involve physical limitations, learning disorders, speech and language problems, behavioural and/or emotional problems.
Open Communication
The best part of having a POT from Bridging Potentials is that we maintain open communication with you and other key team members involved in your child’s education such as educators, and administrators. All are apprised of the situation so that there will be no surprises along the way, making the therapy sessions smooth sailing.
