Occupational Therapy: Helping You Live Your Best Life (with a Sensory Integration Focus!)
Hey there! I'm Caitlin Varty, a registered occupational therapist and sensory integration therapist based in Broadacres, Sandton. With over a decade of experience, my passion lies in working with paediatric patients with Autism and ADHD, helping them reach their full potential and thrive in everyday life.
So, what exactly IS occupational therapy (OT)?
It's way more than just helping people with jobs (though that's part of it!). OT is all about helping you do the everyday activities that matter most. We're talking about things like:
For kids: Playing, learning, making friends, getting dressed, and even eating!
For everyone: Dealing with those overwhelming sensory experiences that can make it tough to focus or relax.
That's where the "sensory integration" part comes in!
Our senses are how we take in the world. When things feel too bright, loud, soft, or just plain weird, it can make daily life a struggle. Sensory integration therapy helps you make sense of all that input, so you can feel more comfortable and in control.
How OT Can Help?
Think of me as your pediatric occupational therapy help for Autism and ADHD! Together, we'll figure out what's holding your child back and come up with creative solutions to help them:
Boost fine motor skills: Like using those fingers and hands for writing, cutting, or zipping up a jacket.
Develop sensory superpowers: Building strategies to handle noisy classrooms, itchy clothes, or those picky eating moments.
Stay organized and focused: Making daily routines easier, so they can rock school or any challenge life throws their way.
Find their flow: Improving coordination and movement skills, so they can play freely, feel good in their own body, and participate in activities they enjoy.
