BOT qualified occupational therapists helping children with fine motor skills, sensory processing, handwriting, daily living skills & school readiness — South Bopal, Shela & Sanand
From assessment to independence — a structured path tailored to every child.
We assess fine motor skills, gross motor coordination, visual-motor integration, sensory processing patterns, and ADL (daily living) skills using standardised tools. Parents receive a written assessment report.
Goals are set across three areas: fine motor/handwriting, sensory regulation, and daily living independence. Each goal is measurable, time-bound, and explained to parents in plain terms.
Using pegs, beads, scissors, playdough, putty, and writing tools — we systematically build grip strength, hand-eye coordination, bilateral coordination, and the specific motor patterns needed for clear handwriting.
Through swings, trampolines, weighted blankets, tactile bins, and proprioceptive activities — we help the nervous system process sensory input more efficiently, reducing meltdowns and improving attention.
We teach dressing, fastening buttons, using cutlery, personal hygiene, and classroom organisation skills — building real independence that reduces daily family stress and school struggle.
We design a personalised "sensory diet" — a schedule of sensory activities parents do daily at home to maintain regulation, with simple techniques that take just 5–10 minutes per session.
Most children show measurable improvement in handwriting clarity and speed within 8–12 weeks of consistent OT — directly improving school performance.
Getting dressed, managing the school bag, using the tiffin box independently — children develop the self-care skills that build confidence and reduce morning battles.
Fewer meltdowns, calmer classroom behaviour, less sensory-seeking activity. Children learn to manage their own sensory needs more effectively.
Improved ability to sit at a desk, focus on tasks, participate in craft activities, and keep up with classroom demands — OT directly impacts academic participation.
Mahi's teacher reported that her handwriting was unreadable and she refused all art activities. She had meltdowns when her clothes felt "wrong." School was considering holding her back.
OT assessment revealed poor pencil grip, weak hand intrinsic muscles, and tactile hypersensitivity. We began 2x weekly OT combining fine motor activities with sensory desensitisation, plus a daily home sensory programme.
In 4 months, Mahi's handwriting improved from Grade 1 to Grade 3 level. Sensory meltdowns reduced by 80%. She now participates in all classroom activities and her teacher's report card has transformed.
Physiotherapy focuses on large muscle movement, strength, and mobility. Occupational Therapy focuses on the fine motor, sensory, perceptual, and cognitive skills needed to perform daily tasks and activities. Both are distinct professions. OT is specifically about enabling participation in daily life occupations.
Absolutely. Sensory processing difficulties are present in over 90% of children with autism. OT addresses the sensory-motor challenges that underlie many autism behaviours — rigidity, meltdowns, food refusal, toileting difficulties, and difficulty with daily routines.
For pure handwriting issues, most parents notice improvement within 6–8 weeks. Full normalisation to peer level typically takes 3–6 months depending on the degree of delay and consistency of home practice.
Yes. Food texture sensitivity, refusal of certain foods, and difficulty with self-feeding are within OT's scope. We work with oral-motor coordination and sensory tolerance around feeding to expand your child's food acceptance and independence.
