What is
Occupational Therapy?
Occupational Therapy is an allied health profession centred on 'occupation'.
An occupation is any activity that occupies time in a persons life. At various times in a persons life they will need support with managing their occupations.
Paediatric Occupational Therapy centres on enbling children to engage with the meaningful occupations, activitys and routines of their daily life. This may include both home and school based occupations, play, self-care and daily living skills.

Collaborative Partnerships is committed to making therapy options as accessable as possible and has a number of different funding options that parents can access depending on their families financial needs.
