How Occupational Therapy can help?

✅ Autism

Occupational therapy can play a vital role in supporting individuals across the autism spectrum to develop skills that promote independence, participation, and quality of life.

Occupational therapy support may address:

  • Social interaction and communication

  • Sensory processing and regulation

  • Motor planning, coordination, and postural control

  • Emotional regulation and self-management

  • Cognitive and functional thinking skills

✅ Developmental Delays

Occupational therapy supports individuals with developmental delays to build essential skills, confidence, and independence in everyday activities.

Support may include:

  • Activities that promote cognitive and functional development

  • Practising daily living tasks that require hand-eye coordination and motor planning

  • Supporting communication, social interaction, and confidence when engaging with others

✅ Sensory Processing Differences

Sensory processing differences can affect how individuals perceive, respond to, and regulate sensory information, impacting daily functioning, safety, and emotional wellbeing.

Occupational therapy can assess sensory processing needs and provide tailored strategies to support regulation, participation, and comfort within everyday environments.

✅ Learning Difficulties

Occupational therapy supports individuals who experience challenges with learning by addressing the functional, sensory, and cognitive factors that impact participation.

Intervention may focus on:

  • Attention, memory, and problem-solving skills

  • Fine motor and visual-motor skills needed for learning and daily tasks

  • Sensory or motor challenges that may affect learning and participation

✅ Schizophrenia & Mental Health Conditions

Occupational therapy provides meaningful support for individuals living with schizophrenia and other mental health conditions, with a focus on functional skills, independence, and recovery.

Support may include:

  • Developing routines and daily living skills to support independent living

  • Emotional regulation, stress management, and coping strategies

  • Supporting participation in work, education, or community activities

  • Addressing sensory or cognitive challenges that impact daily life

  • Goal setting and recovery-oriented skill development

Here's what our customers say

”Journey Forward goes above and beyond in assisting my son with autism and adhd to thrive in his life. Nicole has used innovative approach to keep my son engaged in his practice of fine motor skills everyday. His handwriting skills had improved so much - he's no longer in pain when writing. With her guidance, he had even developed a hobby in caligraphy and coding.”

- N.M (NDIS participant)

”Nicole has really listened to my needs and is very empathetic in listening to my life experiences. She has a strong understanding of the NDIS system. She helped me to write a very professional and convincing functional capacity assessment report, which helped me to grant access to services that I need. Previously, I was so desperate without any help and had been declined for services. I am so happy to have been referred to her and finally get a service and equipment that I need. "
