What is Occupational Therapy?

  • Summary

  • In honour of Occupational Therapy Week, we are re-releasing this episode featuring pediatrician Dr. Jay and experienced occupational therapist Banu Balaji. Banu who has a special interest in developmental trauma and supporting children in care.
    In this episode, Banu provides an overview of occupational therapy and explains how OTs work with children and families to promote independence, self-care, and participation in meaningful activities. She emphasizes the importance of considering the person, environment, and occupation (the PEO model) when setting goals and implementing strategies.
    Banu shares practical advice for parents navigating long waitlists and managing expectations, encouraging a child-centered, collaborative approach. She highlights the value of making small, manageable changes in the home and school environments to have the biggest impact on a child's development and well-being.
    This podcast offers accessible, expert guidance for parents, caregivers, and professionals supporting children with additional needs, sensory processing difficulties, and neurodevelopmental conditions.
