Occupational therapy
Pediatric occupational therapy at our Silver Jubilee Road, Sikar centre. Book a free screening.
If your child cannot hold a pencil properly, refuses half the food on the table, still needs help dressing, or comes home from school having sat through none of it — occupational therapy is usually the place to start. It is the therapy that deals with everything a child does with their body and their senses.
Until recently, most families in Sikar district were told to go elsewhere for this. Occupational therapy is not a one-off appointment; it works through repeated sessions across months, and a therapy that requires a full day of travel every week is a therapy that quietly stops happening. Having it here is what makes it workable.
Our Sikar centre works with children only. We assess first, tell you plainly what we found, and show you what to do at home between visits. Open Monday to Saturday, 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM.

What Occupational Therapy Means for a Child
Parents often assume the name refers to jobs. It does not. A child’s "occupations" are simply the things that fill their day — eating, dressing, playing, writing, coping with a noisy classroom. When one of those is consistently harder for your child than for others their age, occupational therapy is the discipline that works out why.
The reason is usually not the obvious one. Untidy handwriting often traces back to shoulder and core strength rather than the hand. A child who will not sit is often looking for movement their body is not registering properly. This is why we assess before we plan anything.

Signs Your Child May Need Occupational Therapy
Parents rarely arrive with a diagnosis. They arrive with a list of things that are harder than they should be. Any one of these is reason enough to come in.
What you notice at home
- Still needs help dressing, eating or bathing when other children their age manage alone
- Eats only a small, fixed set of foods and will not try anything else
- Meltdowns at haircuts, nail-cutting or tooth-brushing
- Covers ears at the mixer, at weddings, or in a crowded market
- Cannot settle — climbing, crashing, spinning, never still
- Or the opposite — avoids playgrounds, cycling and climbing altogether
What the school reports
- Handwriting is slow, messy, or the child tires after a few lines
- Holds the pencil awkwardly, or presses far too hard
- Slides off the chair, lies across the desk, cannot stay seated
- Does not finish work in the time other children take
- Struggles with a lunchbox, water bottle, or shoelaces
- Plays alone, or on the edge of other children’s games
If several of these are familiar, come in for a screening. It is one visit, and it either sets your mind at rest or gives you something concrete to work with.

What We Have at Our Sikar Centre
Occupational therapy needs equipment. A therapist working from a table and a bag of toys can do some of this, but not the part most children actually need.
Our Silver Jubilee Road centre is set up properly for it: suspended swings and movement equipment for the balance system, climbing and crash surfaces for children who need deep pressure to settle, tactile and messy-play stations for children who avoid touch or crave it, and fine motor stations for grip, hand strength and pencil control.
To your child it looks like a play area, which is exactly the point. Underneath, every piece of it is chosen for a reason, and a session moves through it in a deliberate order — settle the body first, then work the skill while the child is calm enough to learn it.
Travelling In for Therapy
We are on Silver Jubilee Road, opposite the Police Line and above Tanishq — straightforward to reach from most of the district. Alongside families in Sikar city, we regularly see children from:
- Fatehpur, Laxmangarh, Neem Ka Thana, Khandela, Reengus, Losal, Danta Ramgarh, Sri Madhopur
Occupational therapy depends on repetition more than most therapies, so tell us at booking if you are travelling in. We will try to group your child’s sessions into fewer trips, and we will always send you home with two or three specific things to work on, so the days between visits still count.
How We Work in Sikar
It starts with an assessment, never with a session plan. Our occupational therapist watches how your child grips, balances, moves and reacts to sensory input, takes a full history from you, and uses measures appropriate to their age. You leave that visit with written goals in plain language — and if we do not believe your child needs therapy, we will say so.
The goals are always practical. Not "improve sensory processing", but "sit through a lesson", "get dressed alone", "eat with the family". We track progress against those and go through it with you, so you can tell whether it is working rather than having to take our word for it.
What Changes First
Progress shows up at home well before it shows up in the therapy room. These are the things Sikar families come back and tell us:
- Mornings get easier — dressing, shoes, breakfast without a battle
- Homework stops ending in tears
- Their child tries a new food without a scene
- Weddings and market trips stop being something to dread
- The class teacher reports the child staying seated and finishing work
- Their child joins the game instead of standing beside it
