My Champs Occupational Therapy Services: Empowering Every Child to Reach Their Full Potential
25-08-2024

We know at My Champs that each child is special with their strengths, challenges and potential. We use Occupational Therapy services for children to help them get over developmental hurdles, improve their skills and be able to function better in their daily lives. From helping with fine motor skills to assisting with sensory processing or social interaction, to supporting learning, our team of experienced occupational therapists is ready to offer the necessary care and guidance to your child.

What is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational Therapy services is a client-centered health profession that emphasizes health and well-being via occupation. For children, “occupation” is the activities that are meaningful and necessary for the child’s development including playing, learning, and relating to others. Occupational therapists use a variety of strategies and techniques to teach children the skills necessary to successfully complete these activities and to be a part of life.

Our Approach

We believe in whole person, individualized occupational therapy at My Champs. We understand that all children have different needs and adjust our support to meet the individual needs and aims of each child. Our therapists collaborate closely with parents, teachers and other health care providers to ensure a coordinated, comprehensive care plan.

Services Offered

At My Champs, children who have a range of needs will be offered a variety of occupational therapy services:

1. Fine and Gross Motor Skills Development

  • We support children’s fine motor skills including hand-eye co-ordination, handwriting and fine manipulation skills. Children are also encouraged to use their gross motor skills to balance, coordinate and move, which is a major focus area that helps them to confidently participate in physical activity.

2. Sensory Processing Integration

  • Sensory processing issues may impact how children respond to sensory stimuli and cause problems in behavior and learning. We employ sensory integration approaches to facilitate children’s processing and responding to the sensory information in their environment.

3. Social Skills Training

  • Good social skills are essential to a child’s social interaction with other children and adults. We offer specific interventions for children to learn social cues, participate in positive interactions and develop positive relationships.

4. Self-Care and Independence

  • We take care of children to develop their ability to take care of themselves in their everyday routines, including dressing, grooming and feeding. Fostering independence will increase children’s confidence and sense of achievement in making decisions and providing for themselves.

5. Academic Support

  • Children receive support from our occupational therapists who are helping them to build skills to allow them to succeed in school including a range of skills in attention, organization and problem solving. We also offer techniques to assist children in handling learning difficulties and enhance their learning.
