Occupational therapy helps children aged 18 months–14 years with the skills of daily life: holding a pencil, dressing, eating, balance, and coping with noise, touch and movement. Poorvam Care's therapists start with an assessment, then run weekly play-based sessions at our Phase 1 and Phase 2 centres.
OT is about the everyday jobs of childhood: playing, eating, dressing, learning and staying calm enough to do them.
Picky eating or gagging at new foods? See feeding therapy, which our OT and speech teams run together. Live near Electronic City? Ask about OT at home.
Check the list against your child. Two or more is a good reason to ask.
Children with autism, ADHD, developmental delay, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome or sensory processing differences often benefit from OT. So do children with no diagnosis who simply find daily tasks harder than their friends do.
Starting early gives a child the best chance of catching up and doing more for themselves.
Fine motor tasks like writing and buttoning clothes. Gross motor skills like climbing and balance. Sensory processing, where a child is over- or under-sensitive to touch, sound or movement. Self-care such as feeding and dressing. School skills such as handwriting, scissor use and sitting through a lesson.
An assessment first, then a plan with goals you can see, and practice that fits family life.
OT at Poorvam Care works within one team. When a child needs it, the occupational therapist plans with the speech therapist, behaviour therapist and special educator, so goals pull the same way. The clinical team is led by Apoorva Rai, MASLP, RCI registered.
OT builds skills. Some signs also need a medical check, and we will tell you if we see them.
A child who stops doing things they could do, such as walking, using their hands or talking, should be seen by a paediatrician or developmental paediatrician as well as a therapist.
We refer to a paediatric neurologist for seizures, very stiff or floppy muscles, or skills that are going backwards. We refer to a developmental paediatrician when a formal diagnosis of autism or ADHD is needed, and to a psychiatrist if medication for ADHD is being considered. OT can start while you wait for those appointments.
Many children need two kinds of help. All of it is under one roof, from one plan.

Families come to us from across south Bengaluru. Here's which centre is closer, and when online sessions make more sense.
From Whitefield or Marathahalli, many families start with an assessment at a centre, then do part of the weekly therapy online.
How online therapy worksOccupational therapy (OT) helps children build the skills they need for everyday life: writing, dressing, eating, playing and learning. It works on fine motor skills, sensory processing, coordination and self-care, through play-based activities your child enjoys, so practice does not feel like work.
Signs include trouble holding a pencil or writing, struggling with buttons or zips, being very bothered by textures or sounds, poor balance or coordination, finding it hard to sit still, difficulty with eating or dressing, or constantly seeking movement and touch. Two or more of these is a good reason for an OT assessment.
Sensory integration therapy helps children who find it hard to process touch, sound, movement or what they see. Our occupational therapists use planned movement, touch and heavy-work activities to help a child settle their responses. Over time this shows up as better focus, calmer behaviour and easier daily routines.
Most children come one to three times a week, depending on what the assessment finds. You also get a home activity plan so skills are practised between sessions. The therapist reviews progress with you regularly and changes how often your child comes as they improve.
Sessions are 45 to 60 minutes. The last few minutes are spent with you, showing what your child worked on and what to practise at home. Younger children sometimes start with shorter sessions.
No. Many children start OT because a parent or teacher noticed something, without any diagnosis. If the assessment suggests autism, ADHD or another condition, we will tell you and explain when to see a developmental paediatrician. Therapy can start while you wait for that appointment.
Fees depend on how many sessions a week your child needs and whether some are online. We explain the full cost on the first call, once we understand your child's needs, so you know it before anything starts.
Partly. Hands-on sensory work is best at a centre, but OT guidance and parent coaching by video work well for routines, handwriting and home programmes. We offer them to families in India, Australia and the UAE. How online OT works.
