Behavioural Therapy & Counselling

Behavioural Therapy & Counselling refers to providing age-appropriate sensory, motor, and cognitive experiences to children from a young age. For children with developmental delays or disabilities, this therapy is vital to promoting brain development and functional skills.

Behavioural Therapy & Counselling also involves specialized support services that help children develop the skills needed for daily living and independence. These services address challenges related to cognitive, physical, emotional, or social development, focusing on improving fine motor skills, coordination, self-care, and adaptive behavior.

At First Step Special School, we integrate Occupational Therapy strategies into our programs to ensure that children receive the right support at the right time—helping them build confidence, independence, and essential life skills.
