What is Aquatic Occupational Therapy?
NeuroSplash provides aquatic occupational therapy specifically for children. Each session is led by a qualified Occupational Therapist and uses play-based, child-led activities in the water to help children develop confidence, independence, and essential everyday skills.
Children work on movement, coordination, sensory regulation, attention, social interaction, and confidence with water-based routines - all in a safer, supportive aquatic environment.
Who is Aquatic OT for?
Aquatic Occupational Therapy is ideal for children who need extra support with sensory processing, coordination, regulation, or participation in everyday activities.
It can be especially beneficial for neurodivergent children, including those with autism or ADHD, and for children who find traditional therapy settings challenging. The water’s calming, sensory-rich environment supports focus and regulation, allowing sessions to be individually tailored to each child’s needs, interests, and comfort level.
What skills does Aquatic OT Support?
Aquatic Occupational Therapy supports the development of functional skills, including:
- Body awareness, balance, and coordination
- Strength, postural control, and motor planning
- Sensory and emotional regulation
- Confidence and independence in and around water
- Practical water safety and survival skills
Skills are intentionally supported to carry over into everyday routines at home, school, and within the community.
