Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapy for Children at Gratus Kids

At Gratus Kids Autism & Child Rehabilitation Centre, we provide specialised Pediatric Occupational Therapy (OT) to help children become more independent, confident, and capable in their daily lives.

Our OT programs are designed for children facing challenges in motor skills, sensory processing, attention, behaviour, emotional regulation, and daily living activities.

We work with children across developmental needs, including autism, ADHD, Down syndrome, learning difficulties, and global developmental delays.

Pediatric Occupational Therapy focuses on helping children develop the skills required for everyday functioning, such as :

  • Playing and learning
  • Dressing and feeding
  • Writing and drawing
  • Managing emotions
  • Interacting socially

OT helps children not just improve abilities, but participate meaningfully in life—at home, school, and in society.

Who Needs Occupational Therapy?

Your child may benefit from OT if they :

  • Have autism spectrum disorder
  • Show sensory sensitivities
  • Struggle with handwriting or coordination
  • Have poor attention or hyperactivity
  • Find daily tasks like dressing or eating difficult
  • Experience emotional meltdowns or poor regulation
  • Early intervention through OT can significantly improve long-term outcomes.

Our Occupational Therapy Approach Child-Centred Assessment Every child starts with a comprehensive developmental evaluation, covering motor, sensory, cognitive, emotional, and functional skills.

We design individualised therapy plans based on real-life goals.

Play-Based Therapy Children learn best through play. Our sessions use:

  • Games
  • Movement activities
  • Art & craft
  • Sensory play

All activities are evidence-based and goal-oriented, while remaining engaging and fun.

Sensory Integration Therapy We help children process sensory input like :

  • Touch
  • Sound
  • Movement
  • Visual stimuli

This improves focus, behaviour, emotional control, and body awareness.

  • Daily routines
  • Behaviour strategies
  • Sensory activities at home

So progress continues beyond the clinic.
