What does Occupational Therapy at Gen Health Hamilton cover?

Paediatric Mental Health Occupational Therapy

At Gen Health Hamilton, our Paediatric Occupational Therapy (OT) service cater to families, children, and adolescents facing a variety of challenges. Our approach helps children achieve:

  • Developmental milestones
  • Participation in schooling and social activities
  • Management of behavioural concerns
  • Learning adaptive skills.

Our Mental Health Occupational Therapy services support children and adolescents whose mental health impacts their daily functioning, including:

  • Participating in education
  • The ability to work
  • Managing personal care
  • Developing interpersonal relationships
  • Improving sleep.

Through ongoing therapeutic engagement and scheduled appointments with our Occupational Therapists, we provide holistic care aimed at improving both developmental and mental health outcomes for young people.
