Evidence-Based, Neuroaffirming Occupational Therapy Services

At YoungFerns Eduworld, we are committed to providing Neuroaffirming, child-centered, play-based, and evidence-based Pediatric Occupational Therapy services for all children who need it. Our approach supports and empowers children to participate meaningfully in their everyday lives at their own pace and in their own way.

Our team is passionate about play and dedicated to helping your child achieve their developmental goals through engaging, functional, and fun therapy that reflects international best practices.

​

What is Occupational Therapy and Why Might Your Child Need It?

Occupational Therapy (OT) helps babies, children, and young people engage in their daily occupations — from self-care (eating, dressing, toileting), to school skills (writing, organizing), to social play and communication.

Your child may benefit from Occupational Therapy if they:

• Face challenges in play, sensory, fine or gross motor skills

• Need help with self-care tasks like dressing or using the toilet

• Struggle with school-based skills like handwriting, regulation or classroom transitions

• Require support managing attention, focus or routines

• Have a diagnosis such as Autism, ADHD, DCD, or Developmental Delay

Our team thinks holistically about your child, the activity they want or need to do, and the environment they do it in. We believe in working with the child and family to make meaningful change.

​

Our Approach to OT at YoungFerns

• Neuroaffirming support respecting each child's sensory and cognitive needs

• Play-based therapy, using a child’s natural motivation to foster learning

• 1-to-1 personalized sessions, tailored to specific goals and strengths

• Parent involvement, coaching you to support progress at home

• Quality therapy aligned with global standards, right here in Ipoh​

​

What to Expect During OT Sessions

Occupational Therapists are naturally curious — we want to understand your child’s world! We will:

• Learn about your child’s preferences, routines, and environment

• Observe their interaction with tasks like drawing, feeding or dressing

• Take relevant measurements if equipment is needed (e.g., for splints or seating)

• Offer strategies and tools to manage daily challenges

If your child is in hospital, we coordinate with healthcare teams to plan rehabilitation and discharge. In our centre-based model, we also provide early intervention strategies to help children thrive in home and school environments.

​

Types of OT Interventions We Provide

Our therapy is always tailored to your child’s strengths and challenges. Interventions may include:

• Teaching developmental skills (e.g., grasp, balance, sequencing)

• Rehabilitating lost skills post-injury or surgery

• Guiding self-care routines and life skills

• Providing sensory integration activities

• Prescribing assistive equipment (e.g., adaptive spoons, therapy seats)

• Offering strategies for transitions and regulation

• Scar and oedema management

• Splinting or orthotic recommendations

• Supporting families through onward referrals to community services
