Occupational therapy at Prottasha — in real sessions

Watch our occupational therapist in action — helping children develop the motor and sensory skills they need for school and daily life.

What is OT?

Building independence through purposeful activity

Occupational Therapy (OT) helps children develop the physical, cognitive and sensory skills they need to participate fully in daily life — at school, at home and in play.

At Prottasha, our occupational therapists assess each child holistically and design personalised, goal-driven programmes that make a real difference in their everyday routines and independence.

Our OT team collaborates closely with speech therapists, teachers and parents to ensure a consistent, integrated approach to your child's development.

FAQ

Common questions about OT

Sessions at Prottasha are activity-based and child-led where possible. They may include play with sensory materials, fine motor exercises, obstacle courses and tabletop tasks — all carefully designed to target your child's specific goals. Sessions are 45–60 minutes and parents are often involved.

Absolutely. OT is one of the most beneficial therapies for children with autism. It addresses sensory sensitivities, motor planning, social participation and daily living skills. At Prottasha, our OT team works alongside our ABA and SLT therapists to provide a coordinated plan.

We set SMART goals at the start of every programme and review them with you regularly. You'll see measurable changes — your child managing buttons independently, tolerating different textures, or concentrating for longer periods. We provide home activities so you can support progress every day.

We combine OT with SLT, ABA and nutrition under one roof — meaning our therapists collaborate directly, creating a unified plan rather than isolated sessions. Our Baridhara centre also features a dedicated sensory room and kids play zone designed by occupational therapists.
