Occupational Therapy
LETS TALK ABOUT DOING!
What do we do?
At First Step Support Services, our occupational therapy team specialises in supporting children, young people & adults to build the skills they need for everyday life. We work with individuals to develop independence in areas like emotional regulation, sensory processing, play, motor skills, self-care, and participation at home, school, and in the community.
We also have experience supporting neurodivergent individuals, including autistic children and those with a range of developmental differences.
