Kids Creative Therapy is proud to offer pediatric Occupational Therapy services in Kamloops and the surrounding communities!

Our pediatric OTs support children with skills that help them participate more confidently in everyday activities at home, at school, and in the community. This may include support with emotional regulation, sensory processing, fine motor skills, self-care, play, routines, and more.

Every child is unique, so therapy is tailored to their individual strengths, needs, and goals. We also work closely with families to provide practical strategies that can be used beyond the therapy session.

Transitions can be so tricky for kids. We see it in our office, in the classroom, and at home when children struggle to move from one activity to the next.

As adults, we may not think much about switching tasks, but for kids, it can feel like a big deal. Rushing, repeating instructions, or expecting a child to transition without support can often make things even harder.

What can help? Predictable cues, visual supports, and countdowns that let children know what’s coming next. Kids often do better when they have time to prepare.

Practicing different cues and finding strategies that work for each child can go a long way toward making transitions smoother and more manageable for everyone.✏️🏡

⚽ FIFA fever is all around us! Soccer offers children so much more than a chance to score a goal. 

From a pediatric occupational therapy lens, soccer can help children develop:
🏃 Gross motor skills, balance, coordination, and endurance
👀 Visual tracking and spatial awareness
🧠 Motor planning, attention, and quick decision-making
🤝 Communication, teamwork, and social participation
💪 Confidence, resilience, and emotional regulation

Whether children are playing on a team, kicking a ball with family, or cheering on their favourite FIFA players, soccer can be a fun and meaningful way to support development through movement and play.⚽🌎

Kids don’t have jobs, so why would they need an occupational therapist?

A child’s “occupations” are the meaningful activities they do every day, such as playing, learning, getting dressed, making friends, and participating at home and school.

Pediatric occupational therapists help children build the skills they need to navigate daily life. This may include learning to regulate emotions, draw and write, jump and climb, complete self-care tasks, play, and interact with peers, and so much more!
