Paediatric Occupational Therapists: 0 to 15 years

Explore and Soar specialises in building foundational skill sets that serve as the footing for comprehensive growth and development in all domains. We firmly believe that nurturing these fundamental skills lays the groundwork for substantial and holistic progress across every facet of an individual’s development.

Sensory Processing:
We delve into understanding and collaborating with each child’s unique sensory system, aiming to foster body awareness and provide invaluable insights into how they engage with the world in their everyday life. Our approach is tailored to unlock a deeper understanding of their sensory experiences, facilitating a more enriched and connected interaction with their surroundings.

Emotional Regulation:
We’re dedicated to nurturing foundational emotional regulation skills, starting with co-regulation alongside caregivers and fostering a child’s ability to develop their own self-regulation. Our focus is on guiding them to understand their emotions and behaviours, empowering them to independently manage and calm themselves.

Age Developmental Skills:
These fundamental skills serve as the cornerstone for all other developmental milestones. From nurturing pretend play, fostering social skills, and refining gross and fine motor abilities to cultivating self-care routines and mastering complex tasks, these foundational blocks set the stage for comprehensive growth.

Our passion lies in working collaboratively on these diverse skill sets to ensure the best possible outcomes for both you and your family, fostering holistic development every step of the way. How do we do this? We do this through exploratory PLAY in YOUR favourite places such as home, parks or different places in the community.
