Celebrating the power of occupational therapy in early childhood

At MCM’s Early Childhood Intervention Services (ECIS), our occupational therapists (OTs) are a vital part of a passionate, transdisciplinary team that walks alongside families to support every child’s development and wellbeing. Together, they spark joy, honour differences, and build on strengths - recognising that every child learns, plays, and connects with the world in their own unique way.

What makes our OTs so awesome?

  • They build everyday independence: Our OTs gently support children to build self-care skills like brushing their teeth or zipping up their jacket.
  • They honour sensory differences: Our OTs help children understand and navigate the sensory world with confidence, using strengths-based strategies to support regulation and comfort.
  • They make movement meaningful: Whether it’s pencil grasp or jumping over puddles, they weave motor development into playful, meaningful experiences that build confidence and capability.
  • They foster connection through play: Play is where social and emotional skills come to life. Our OTs support turn-taking, communication, and emotional regulation - because relationships are where growth happens.
  • They empower families and educators: By sharing knowledge, adapting routines, and making environments more inclusive, our OTs partner with the people who know each child best - creating practical solutions that work anywhere.

Looking for support for your child?

Our ECIS team is here for you. With creativity, compassion, and deep expertise, we’ll work alongside you to support your child’s development through play, connection, and strategies tailored to your family.

We partner with you because you know your child best, and we’ll be there to celebrate every step of their journey.
