Therapy for children
Individualised occupational therapy that meets each child where they are — supporting regulation, sensory needs, motor skills, play and everyday participation.

Helping children grow through connection, development & play
Amanda Kelly is a CORU-registered occupational therapist based in Portlaoise. Working closely with children and families, and training the practitioners who support them — grounded in relationship, regulation and developmental play.
How I can help
Two ways of working, one shared belief
That children develop best through warm, attuned relationships and meaningful play — and that the adults around them thrive with the right knowledge and support.
Training for professionals
Practical training for therapists, educators and practitioners who want to work in a developmental, relationship-based way.
Partnership with families
Parents and carers are central. I work alongside you with practical strategies you can carry into everyday life, so progress continues well beyond the therapy room.
A space designed for regulation & play
A calm, natural environment where children feel safe to explore
My sensory room is built around movement, sensory experience and connection — with a suspended swing frame, therapy hammock, climbing wall, crash mats and a green plant wall that brings the outside in. It's a place where children can seek out what their bodies need, settle, and play in a way that feels safe and inviting.
