School Readiness Support
At Allay Occupational Therapy, we support children and families through the important transition from preschool to primary school.
School readiness is about more than just academic skills—it’s about confidence, independence, and emotional wellbeing.
Our approach is holistic, strengths-based, and guided by each child’s unique developmental journey.
How We Support You
Our OTs collaborate with families, educators, and early learning professionals to build:
- Independence in Daily Routines – including managing belongings, dressing, toileting, and eating.
- Emotional & Social Readiness – supporting confidence, resilience, and group participation.
- Attention & Listening Skills – helping children engage and participate in structured learning environments.
- Fine & Gross Motor Skills – building skills for writing, cutting, sitting posture, and playground play.
- Self-Regulation Strategies – helping children manage transitions, emotions, and new expectations.
Who Can Benefit?
- Children preparing for their first year of school.
- Children with developmental delays or neurodivergent profiles.
- Families seeking support to prepare their child for a positive school experience.
- Children needing support with confidence, routine, or group learning.
What to Expect
We begin with a tailored assessment and develop a plan that supports your child’s needs in a fun, achievable way.
Our focus is on fostering sustainable skills and emotional readiness so your child can transition to school with confidence and joy.
