Occupational Therapy Adelaide

We provide occupational therapy in Adelaide for children, teens and adults, supporting participation in everyday activities at home, school, work and in the community. Our occupational therapists work alongside individuals and families to support sensory processing, emotional regulation, daily living skills and meaningful engagement in daily life.

Occupational therapy for children & teens

Occupational therapy can support children and teens to develop the skills they need to participate more confidently in everyday activities. Our paediatric occupational therapists work with children across a range of developmental stages, supporting engagement in play, learning, self-care and social participation.

We support children and teens who may experience challenges with sensory processing, emotional regulation, fine and gross motor skills, attention, routines, and independence. Therapy is individualised, strengths-based and neuro-affirming, and may involve working closely with parents, carers, educators and other professionals.

Occupational therapy for adults

Adult occupational therapy focuses on supporting participation in meaningful daily activities across home, work and community environments. Our occupational therapists work with adults to build skills, strategies and confidence to support independence, wellbeing and quality of life.

We support adults who may experience sensory sensitivities, challenges with daily living skills, routines, executive functioning, emotional regulation or participation in work and community life. Therapy is practical, collaborative and tailored to individual goals, needs and environments.

Areas we support

Our occupational therapists support a wide range of functional areas, including:

  • Sensory processing and sensory regulation
  • Emotional regulation and coping strategies
  • Fine and gross motor skills
  • Handwriting and school participation
  • Self-care and daily living skills
  • Routines, organisation and executive functioning
  • Participation at home, school, work and in the community

Support is always individualised and guided by each person’s strengths, goals and priorities.

How occupational therapy can help

Occupational therapy supports people to participate more fully and confidently in everyday life. By focusing on meaningful activities and real-life environments, occupational therapy helps individuals develop skills, strategies and adaptations that support independence and wellbeing.

Our therapists take a holistic approach, considering sensory, physical, emotional, cognitive and environmental factors that may impact participation. Therapy may involve direct sessions, education, strategy development and collaboration with families and support networks.
