Frequently Asked Questions
What is paediatric occupational therapy?
Paediatric OT helps children develop skills needed for daily activities, school participation, and play. It addresses fine motor skills (writing, cutting), sensory processing, self-care (dressing, feeding), and visual-motor integration.
How do I know if my child needs occupational therapy?
Signs include: difficulty with handwriting or holding pencils, trouble with buttons/zips, sensitivity to textures/sounds/movement, poor balance and coordination, difficulty sitting still, or struggles with age-appropriate self-care tasks.
How much does occupational therapy cost in Bishan?
Private OT in Bishan typically costs $120-$220 per session. Government hospital OT (via polyclinic referral) is subsidised at $30-$80 per session for citizens. Some centres offer package rates for regular sessions.
How often should my child attend OT in Bishan?
Most children attend OT once a week, with home practice activities between sessions. Some children with more significant needs may attend twice weekly initially. Your OT will recommend a frequency based on assessment findings.
Can OT help with my child's handwriting?
