Paediatric Occupational Therapy (OT) at Brave Bodies helps children and young adults (0-25 years) develop the essential skills needed to participate fully in their everyday 'occupations' – which for kids means playing, learning, looking after themselves, making friends, and being part of a family and community. Our goal is to empower your child to live life to the fullest with confidence and independence
Our Philosophy
Our experienced Paediatric Occupational Therapists are passionate about understanding your child's unique strengths and challenges. We use creative, evidence-based, and play-focused strategies to make learning fun and meaningful. We believe in 'Partnering with Parents, Empowering Children,' working closely with you to integrate strategies into daily routines and celebrate every success.
