Helping Children Thrive through Specialist occupational therapy.

At Little Steps, we offer practical, personalised occupational therapy to help children build the skills they need to thrive. We focus on sensory support, coordination, and everyday independence — especially for children who’ve struggled since COVID. Working with families and schools, we create clear, achievable plans that make a real difference.
