At Neurologica Paediatric Occupational Therapy, we help children overcome barriers to everyday activities – whether it’s getting dressed, staying focused in class, managing emotions, or building coordination for play and learning.
We provide personalised, play-based therapy for children who may be experiencing sensory, motor, developmental, or emotional challenges. Using evidence-based approaches, we assess each child’s unique strengths and needs, and work alongside families, teachers, and other professionals to create meaningful goals and practical strategies.
Our therapy sessions are engaging and child-led, using fun activities to build skills in a calm, supportive environment. We also offer detailed assessment written reports, and guidance to help parents and schools better understand each child’s needs.
At Neurologica, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to feel confident, capable, and connected in their daily lives.

The DTVP-3 aims to identify visual-perceptual and visual-motor integration difficulties in children. It assesses how well a child can interpret and respond.
The Beery VMI aims to identify difficulties in visual-motor integration, which is the ability to coordinate visual perceptual skills with motor skills.
Celebrating success together
I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible work Miksha Jagwanth has done for our son. As parents, we were anxious and unsure when our child was diagnosed with sensory processing disorder. From the very first session at Neurologica, Miksha’s warmth, professionalism, and deep understanding of our needs put us at ease.
Her dedication extends beyond the therapy room. Miksha provides invaluable guidance and support to us as parents, equipping us with strategies to continue supporting our son’s development at home. Her holistic approach, including her expertise in Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI) and the DIR/Floortime approach, has made a world of difference.
