Child Therapy Services Perth
At Luci Webb Occupational Therapy Services, we provide evidence-based child therapy services for families across Perth. We support children aged 3 to 18 years who experience learning difficulties, dyslexia, handwriting challenges, motor skill delays, behavioural concerns and developmental difficulties. Our tailored therapy programs are designed to help children build confidence, independence and lifelong skills.
Evidence-Based Child Therapy
Every child develops differently. Our role is to identify the challenges affecting your child's progress and develop practical strategies that support positive outcomes. Using proven therapy techniques, specialised activities and targeted learning programs, we work closely with both children and families to achieve meaningful results.
Baby Feeding, Behavioural & Other Difficulties
If your child experiences feeding difficulties, behavioural challenges or developmental concerns, we can help uncover the underlying causes and develop practical solutions.
We also support children experiencing:
- Sensory processing difficulties
- Visual tracking concerns
- Memory challenges
- Concentration and focus difficulties
- Processing speed issues
Through a combination of therapy activities and specialised computer programs, we help children develop skills while giving families practical tools to support progress at home.
Dyslexia & Handwriting Issues
We specialise in helping children who struggle with literacy, handwriting and learning difficulties. Our unique Secret Code handwriting system supports reading, spelling, writing and memory development through an engaging, multisensory approach.
Children experiencing dyslexia or handwriting challenges often benefit from structured intervention that strengthens recall, organisation and written expression. Our evidence-based programs are designed to build confidence while improving academic performance.
Child Motor Skill Development
Motor skills play a vital role in everyday activities, learning and independence.
Fine Motor Skills
Fine motor development focuses on skills needed for:
Pencil grasp
Handwriting
Buttoning clothes
Using scissors
Brushing teeth
Eye-hand coordination
Gross Motor Skills
Gross motor development supports:
Strength
Balance
Coordination
Ball skills
Motor planning
Left and right integration
Our clinic also features a dedicated therapy gym with equipment including swings, scooter board activities, ramps and other engaging movement-based resources that make therapy both effective and enjoyable.
Handwriting Therapy
Handwriting is one of the most complex cognitive skills children learn. Successful handwriting requires a child to think, organise ideas, recall letters, spell correctly and physically produce written work.
Many children can verbally express their ideas but struggle to transfer them onto paper. Our handwriting programs focus on improving recall, automatic letter formation, spelling and written output using evidence-based strategies aligned with current neuroscience research.
Visual Processing
Visual processing forms one of the key foundations of learning.
Children may benefit from visual processing support if they:
- Reverse letters such as b and d
- Confuse words such as saw and was
- Struggle to retain information
- Experience difficulty learning times tables
- Have challenges with memory and recall
Targeted therapy can strengthen these underlying skills and improve learning outcomes.

Learning to Learn Strategies
Many children experience working memory difficulties that impact learning. This is not a reflection of intelligence. It simply means information needs to be presented in a way that matches how the child learns best.
We teach practical learning strategies including:
- Note-taking
- Drawing for recall
- Summarising key information
- Memory techniques
- Organisational skills
- Confidence building
We also utilise recognised resources including the Lindamood-Bell Verbalising and Visualising program to support literacy, comprehension and written expression.
Treat your child's developmental difficulties with evidence-based therapy and personalised support.
