Building Blocks Occupational Therapy Pinelands offers caring, child-focused therapy in a private practice led by Kris-Ann.

About Building Blocks Occupational Therapy Pinelands

Kris-Ann leads the practice and brings strong skills in sensory work. She trained at the University of Cape Town and completed her community service at Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital. As a result, she gained hands-on experience with many children. She is a certified Ayres Sensory Integration (ASI) therapist. In addition, she works as a Tomatis® Level 1 practitioner and a DIR® Floortime™ Provider. Therefore, she uses proven methods to support each child.

How Building Blocks Occupational Therapy Pinelands Supports Your Child

First, Kris-Ann meets with parents for an initial interview. This session lasts 30–45 minutes, and the child does not need to attend. During this time, she gathers clear background details. Next, she completes a full assessment. She checks sensory functioning, gross and fine motor skills, and visual-perceptual skills. After that, she explains the results in a feedback session. She also shares simple and practical recommendations.

Assessment and Therapy Process

Following the assessment, Kris-Ann prepares a written report. This report explains the findings in a clear way. Then, she plans therapy sessions based on the child’s needs. Each session focuses on building useful skills step by step. At the same time, she tracks progress closely. Because of this, she can adjust the plan when needed.

Ongoing Feedback and Home Support

Kris-Ann keeps parents informed at all times. She gives regular feedback about the child’s progress. In addition, she provides home activities. These activities help the child practise new skills in a familiar space. As a result, progress continues outside of therapy sessions. This approach helps children gain confidence and improve daily function.

Referrals and Important Information

A teacher, parent, or healthcare professional usually refers a child. They often notice concerns about development or behaviour. After referral, the process begins with the parent interview. Therapy includes a written report and ongoing feedback. Furthermore, parents sign a contract. This step ensures that accounts stay up to date. Overall, the practice offers a clear and supportive process for families.
