How I Can Help
Every child develops differently and sometimes it can be hard to know whether to wait, seek advice or what to do next.
The Early Bird OT provides one-off assessments and consultation packages for children aged 0-6 years, helping families understand their child's strengths, challenges and practical next steps.
Whether you have questions about sensory processing, play skills, fine motor development, independence or school readiness, my aim is to provide clear answers, practical recommendations and support that fits into everyday family life.
