At About You OT, we believe that early support can make a lasting difference. Our Early Intervention Occupational Therapy services are designed for babies, toddlers, and young children (typically aged 0–9 years) who may be experiencing developmental delays, have disabilities, challenges with daily activities, or differences in how they play, move, or interact.

Our Focus Areas

Our early intervention services support children in building skills across a wide range of developmental areas, including:

  • Fine and gross motor skills – such as reaching, grasping, drawing, holding toys, sitting, crawling, walking, or using utensils

  • Play and social interaction – engaging in play, taking turns, building relationships

  • Emotional regulation – managing big feelings, adapting to changes, calming strategies

  • Self-care tasks – like feeding, dressing, toileting, and sleeping routines

  • Sensory processing – understanding and responding to the way children experience touch, sound, movement, and more

  • Communication and engagement – supporting attention, focus, and participation in everyday routines

What We Offer

  • Individualised assessment and goal setting

  • Play-based therapy sessions tailored to your child’s strengths and needs
