What is Occupational Therapy and how can it help my family?
Occupational Therapists (OTs) help people do the things that they need and want to do in their lives (our daily activities and routines). We are professional problem solvers who love helping people.
With children, OT's support them do their occupations of play, school and their activities of daily living (sleep, eating, dressing, toileting, bathing.)
​
OTs support parents with their physical, mental and emotional health and how they are impacting on their ability to do their occupations, roles and routines. E.g could be dressing a baby one handed, managing competing family member needs, family members (and their own) emotional regulation, organising family life; recovery from a C-section or traumatic birth and the physical limitations that impact on parenting.
ABOUT US
At My Family OT, we are passionate about helping children and parents. We are a neuro-affirming and trauma informed practice with a holistic focus. Research supports that seeing people in their natural environment allows for more carry-over into their day to day lives.
We are a mobile OT practice that can see you at school, day-care, home or in a community space. We also offer Telehealth and "walk-and-talk" appointments. We service the central and eastern suburbs of Perth.
We believe that every member of your family deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential in life, and we are here to help them do just that.
