Speech and occupational therapy for preschoolers

Supporting preschoolers as they prepare for their next big steps

Empowering your child to build confidence, communication, and independence for school and beyond.

Do you have a preschooler who…

  • Struggles with speaking clearly, formulating sentences or being understood by others?
  • Has difficulty with social interactions, playing cooperatively or taking turns?
  • Avoids or finds it hard to complete self-care tasks like dressing, eating, or toileting?
  • Becomes overwhelmed by loud noises, bright lights, or other sensory experiences?

These challenges can impact your child’s confidence and ability to learn, but with the right support, they can develop the skills they need to feel capable, confident, and ready for school.

Tailored support for your preschooler’s development

At SPOT Paediatrics, we focus on supporting preschoolers to build the skills they need for learning, play, and independence. Therapy for preschool-aged children might include:

  • Supporting speech clarity and language development
  • Supporting social connection and play
  • Developing early fine motor skills
  • Supporting self-care independence

What we can help with

We support children through both speech pathology and occupational therapy, focusing on:

Speech Pathology

  • Language development through play and connection.
  • Speech clarity and sound development.
  • Exploring AAC for children who prefer to communicate in ways other than verbal.

Occupational Therapy

  • Building motor development for tasks like walking, climbing, sitting, holding objects, and finger strength and pre-writing skills.
  • Working through sensory challenges and supporting regulation and accommodations in overwhelming sensory environments.
  • Supporting regulation, both co-regulation and self-regulation, through building knowledge, understanding and strategies.
