Occupational Therapy at PlayStreet
At PlayStreet, Occupational Therapy (OT) is more than just a service — it’s a powerful way to unlock a child’s ability to participate meaningfully in daily life.
We work with children across a range of developmental profiles, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, cerebral palsy, developmental delays, genetic syndromes, and other neurological challenges, helping them move towards greater independence, regulation, and functional participation.
Whether it’s brushing teeth, holding a pencil, playing with peers, or focusing in class — occupational therapy helps children build the physical, emotional, sensory, and cognitive capacities they need to thrive in everyday life.
What Is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational therapy supports children in building the skills and abilities required to engage in their "occupations" — the daily activities that give life meaning and structure, such as:
Self-care (dressing, eating, toileting)
Play and leisure
Learning and school participation
Social interaction
Motor coordination
Emotional regulation
Sensory processing
At PlayStreet, we evaluate each child holistically, working with families, educators, and caregivers to co-create therapy plans that are deeply individualized and rooted in everyday life.
When Should You Consider an OT Consultation?
Occupational Therapy is often helpful when a child:
Struggles with sensory processing (over-responsive, under-responsive, sensory seeking)
Shows delays in fine or gross motor skills
Has difficulty with attention, focus, or impulse control
Experiences challenges with handwriting or classroom tasks
Has trouble with emotional regulation or behavioral outbursts
Shows poor balance, coordination, or body awareness
Avoids or overreacts to grooming, dressing, or food textures
We support children with:
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Developmental Coordination Disorder (Dyspraxia)
Learning Disabilities
Cerebral Palsy
Down Syndrome
And many others
What Makes Occupational Therapy at PlayStreet Different?
PlayStreet has been a pioneer in sensory and motor-based intervention in India. Long before these approaches became mainstream, we introduced:
Sensory Integration Therapy grounded in real movement and relationship
Use of Primitive Reflex Integration (since 2015) as a foundation for motor control and emotional stability
A whole-child approach that connects the dots between motor, sensory, emotional, and cognitive development
Close collaboration between OT, speech, play, and emotional regulation therapists
Parent training and coaching, because change at home is where true transformation begins
We don’t believe in quick fixes or one-size-fits-all checklists. We believe in seeing the child deeply, understanding their nervous system, and building skills that grow with them.

Why "Occupation" Matters
In occupational therapy, "occupation" doesn’t mean job. It means anything your child needs and wants to do in daily life — and the meaning they attach to it.
At PlayStreet, we use occupation as both the goal and the means of therapy. Whether it's zipping a jacket, climbing stairs, or swinging in joy — we use real-life tasks to create real-life change.
We recognize that these daily activities are where your child builds:
Independence
Confidence
Self-expression
Resilience
