Support families whose kids are having difficulty doing the things that they need to do in their everyday life.

Occupational Therapist's call these various activities "occupations". They encompass a range of activities that are essential for children's growth, development, learning and wellbeing. For most kids, common "occupations" include:

​

​

Play: Play is a fundamental childhood occupation that involves activities such as imaginative play, constructive play, games, and outdoor play. Play is essential for children's physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development, as it allows them to explore, learn, express themselves, and develop important skills such as problem-solving, creativity, and social interaction.
 

Self-Care: Self-care occupations include activities related to personal hygiene, grooming, dressing, feeding, and toileting. Learning and mastering self-care skills are crucial for children's independence, self-confidence, and ability to participate in daily routines and activities.
 

School and Learning: School-related occupations encompass activities such as attending school, participating in classroom lessons, completing homework, and engaging in extracurricular activities. These occupations are vital for children's educational development, academic success, and socialization with peers and teachers.
 

Socialisation and Relationships: Social occupations involve interactions with family members, friends, peers, and other individuals in various social settings. Developing social skills, building relationships, and participating in group activities are important aspects of childhood development that contribute to children's emotional well-being and sense of belonging.
 

Leisure and Recreation: Leisure occupations include hobbies, interests, sports, arts and crafts, and other recreational activities that children engage in during their free time. Participating in leisure activities promotes relaxation, enjoyment, creativity, and skill development, while also providing opportunities for socialisation and self-expression.
 

Chores and Responsibilities: Children may also participate in occupations related to household chores, responsibilities, and community involvement. These activities teach children important life skills, such as teamwork, responsibility, and cooperation, while also contributing to their sense of competence and contribution to their family and community

Childhood occupations play a critical role in children's development and well-being, shaping their physical, cognitive, social, emotional, and adaptive skills as they grow and mature. Encouraging and supporting children's engagement in a variety of meaningful occupations is essential for promoting their overall health, happiness, and success.
