Find out what other parents say about our professional occupational therapists and how we have helped support families and children. Our therapists are professional, empathetic and highly qualified. What parents say about us Ms Valery has been supporting my daughter for the past year. She is warm, encouraging and my daughter looks forward to her therapy sessions. I can see her passion in her work. I greatly appreciate the strong emphasis placed on parental coaching which has taught my spouse and I ways to help our child better. Administratively, Jieying makes communication a breeze. It has been nothing short of a great experience working together with the team at OT FOR KIDS. Cassandra, mother of S (seen at 5 years old) Our experience with Wei Kiat providing therapy for our 7 year old daughter was really positive. He came to a clinical assessment quickly, which I believe was successful in working out the direction the therapy should take and the goals. The sessions were made to incorporate fun and engaging exercises so she was always looking forward to attend the session. Wei Kiat was also really good at providing feedback and tips to us, plus exercises to work on at home. Importantly he also connected with our daughter’s school, so that her teacher and the school counsellor could better understand the basis for her issues, and make relatively simple allowances for her, which seems to have helped settle her in class, and improved her classroom and learning experience. All in all, we are really happy with how Wei Kiat has worked with our daughter and us, and the results so far. Paul H., father of S (seen at 7 years old) We want to thank OT for Kids and especially to Therapist Ms Valery and Centre Manager Ms Jieying for their support towards us when J was attending OT at the Centre. Ms Valery is a very approachable therapist to both parents and kids, and J was always looking forward to attending the sessions with her. She is very observant towards J to identify areas of OT to work with him on, and actively shares feedback with us. Ms Jieying is also very helpful and responsive towards us in arranging the weekly sessions, there will always be reminders before each session, and flexibility too on occasions when we need to reschedule. The environment at OT for Kids is also very clean and conducive for therapy, with many equipment and activities to keep kids engaged. It was a positive experience overall with OT for Kids! Parents of J (seen at 6 years old) Wei Kiat has been supporting our son for the past 7 months with OT sessions both in school and home setting. We have seen tremendous progress in our son with the support from Wei Kiat OT sessions with him. Wei Kiat is passionate and exceptional is in his field of work. He is committed to work closely with us by understanding our son's needs, giving detailed updates on the sessions and sharing progress or concerns on our child. He listens to our concerns and provides us with useful and practical tips for us to follow up. Within a short span of time, Wei Kiat was able to build a rapport with our son and our son looks forward to all his sessions. We will not hesitate to recommend Wei Kiat to others who are looking for OT for their child. Thank you Wei Kiat for your dedication and sincerity in supporting the children and families! Mdm H, mother of H (seen from 5 to 6 years old) Our son has richly benefitted from working with Wei Kiat Tang. He has met with him weekly over the course of several months. We have worked with many Occupational Therapists and we find Wei Kiat to be exceptional due to his intentional, thoughtful practice. He listens carefully and without judgement and has designed a program of therapy for our son that demonstrates he truly understands who our son is and what his needs are. Wei Kiat is patient and calm in every interaction, and has built a strong rapport with our son who loves coming to meet with him. Wei Kiat is very knowledgeable and has repeatedly offered creative exercises and activities that are age appropriate and focused on helping our son improve. We feel that Wei Kiat has been exactly what our family has needed to be able to assist our son on his journey to becoming his best self. Liz S, mother of A (seen from 10 to 11 years old)

Mr Tang's professionalism exceeded our expectations. He did a comprehensive assessment and we were relieved to finally know what was causing all these issues. Mr Tang is very knowledgeable and explains things very clearly. He also works closely with my boy, and both of us parents to set realistic and achievable goals. He motivates my boy just right, but yet not daunting. This really helps a lot in building my boy's confidence and he looks forward to every session. The clinic's environment is also conducive and clean. There are lots of equipment for the therapy session. I love that there are motivational quotes on display, and it is just so welcoming. The admin manager, Jieying, is also very responsive and answers all enquiries promptly. Invoices and appointment reminders are emailed out timely. Highly recommend Mr Tang and his clinic. They truly build a genuine relationship with their clients.

Our team of highly qualified therapists has years of experience working with children of all abilities, children with a variety of challenges including difficulties in paying attention, a lack of focus, poor gross or fine motor skills, sensory processing, emotion regulation difficulties, and more. Our therapists are trained to support children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifida, Global Developmental Delay, Developmental Coordination Disorder/ Dyspraxia and more. We work with each child and their family to develop a personalized therapy plan to help them reach their goals. We are committed to providing a supportive and nurturing environment where children can thrive, build upon their strengths and develop new skills. Our Core Belief We believe that all children want to do well and achieve success. There are no 'bad' kids. Only kids who need help. When children struggle with a task, it is not because they 'don't want' to do it. When children display undesirable behaviours, it is not because they 'don't want' to cooperate or behave appropriately. It is because they are not able to do so - due to a lack of relevant skills, environmental or internal stressors, or unmet needs. Each child who walks into our clinic will be treated with respect, compassion, non-judgment and curiosity. We endeavour to uncover the underlying reasons to the child's struggles or difficulties and provide targeted intervention to address the root causes of his or her challenges. Our Approach Our approach is focused on empowering children and their families. We are a family-centred practice. We believe that a strong partnership between families and therapists is fundamental to achieving the best outcomes for the children we serve. Therefore, parent coaching is a key component in our therapy process. Besides direct intervention with the child, we work closely with parents so that they can adopt strategies to continue supporting their child's progress at home. Our Core Values Integrity: We strive to do the right thing for the children and their families. We promote open communication and always keep the children's best interests in mind. Professionalism: We take pride in our professionalism in all areas of our practice and our commitment to providing the best possible care for the children and families we serve. From the first phone call to the last therapy session, we strive to provide top-notch customer care and to make the entire process smooth, pleasant and stress-free. We believe in continuous learning and development. Our therapists participate in ongoing training and education to stay up-to-date with the latest research and techniques, in order to provide top quality therapy services. Empathy: Empathy is at the core of everything we do. We believe in treating each client and their family with kindness, respect, and understanding. We endeavour to foster a supportive environment where children and parents feel comfortable and confident. We strive to understand each child and family's unique challenges and barriers, in order to develop personalized, practical and effective intervention plans.

Testimonials | OT FOR KIDS SG What parents say about us "We enlisted Wei Kiat to help our daughter with occupational therapy. They have worked every week together for about a year, focused on gross motor skills development and helping our daughter to overcome her fears of certain activities. The transformation has been amazing, not only is our daughter doing things we thought she might never do, but even her teachers are now commenting on how much progress she has made. If you need an occupational therapist then we cannot recommend Wei Kiat highly enough." Darren Thayre., father of E (seen from 6 years old and counting) Our experience with Wei Kiat providing therapy for our 7 year old daughter was really positive. He came to a clinical assessment quickly, which I believe was successful in working out the direction the therapy should take and the goals. The sessions were made to incorporate fun and engaging exercises so she was always looking forward to attend the session. Wei Kiat was also really good at providing feedback and tips to us, plus exercises to work on at home. Importantly he also connected with our daughter’s school, so that her teacher and the school counsellor could better understand the basis for her issues, and make relatively simple allowances for her, which seems to have helped settle her in class, and improved her classroom and learning experience. All in all, we are really happy with how Wei Kiat has worked with our daughter and us, and the results so far. Paul H., father of S (seen at 7 years old) We want to thank OT for Kids and especially to Therapist Ms Valery and Centre Manager Ms Jieying for their support towards us when J was attending OT at the Centre. Ms Valery is a very approachable therapist to both parents and kids, and J was always looking forward to attending the sessions with her. She is very observant towards J to identify areas of OT to work with him on, and actively shares feedback with us. ​ Ms Jieying is also very helpful and responsive towards us in arranging the weekly sessions, there will always be reminders before each session, and flexibility too on occasions when we need to reschedule. The environment at OT for Kids is also very clean and conducive for therapy, with many equipment and activities to keep kids engaged. It was a positive experience overall with OT for Kids! Parents of J (seen at 6 years old) Wei Kiat has been supporting our son for the past 7 months with OT sessions both in school and home setting. We have seen tremendous progress in our son with the support from Wei Kiat OT sessions with him. Wei Kiat is passionate and exceptional is in his field of work.

We will not hesitate to recommend Wei Kiat to others who are looking for OT for their child. Thank you Wei Kiat for your dedication and sincerity in supporting the children and families! Mdm H, mother of H (seen from 5 to 6 years old) Our son has richly benefitted from working with Wei Kiat Tang. He has met with him weekly over the course of several months. We have worked with many Occupational Therapists and we find Wei Kiat to be exceptional due to his intentional, thoughtful practice. He listens carefully and without judgement and has designed a program of therapy for our son that demonstrates he truly understands who our son is and what his needs are.

Liz S, mother of A (seen from 10 to 11 years old) About Us | OT FOR KIDS SG About Us Established in 2023, we are a boutique paediatric therapy clinic that specializes in providing high-quality professional occupational therapy services for children - helping them overcome challenges, and reach their full potential. ​ Our team of highly qualified therapists has years of experience working with children of all abilities, children with a variety of challenges including difficulties in paying attention, a lack of focus, poor gross or fine motor skills, sensory processing, emotion regulation difficulties, and more. Our therapists are trained to support children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifida, Global Developmental Delay, Developmental Coordination Disorder/ Dyspraxia and more. ​ We work with each child and their family to develop a personalized therapy plan to help them reach their goals. We are committed to providing a supportive and nurturing environment where children can thrive, build upon their strengths and develop new skills. Our Core Belief We believe that all children want to do well and achieve success. There are no 'bad' kids. Only kids who need help. ​ When children struggle with a task, it is not because they 'don't want' to do it. When children display undesirable behaviours, it is not because they 'don't want' to cooperate or behave appropriately. ​ It is because they are not able to do so - due to a lack of relevant skills, environmental or internal stressors, or unmet needs. ​ Each child who walks into our clinic will be treated with respect, compassion, non-judgment and curiosity. We endeavour to uncover the underlying reasons to the child's struggles or difficulties and provide targeted intervention to address the root causes of his or her challenges. Our Approach Our approach is focused on empowering children and their families. We are a family-centred practice. We believe that a strong partnership between families and therapists is fundamental to achieving the best outcomes for the children we serve. Therefore, parent coaching is a key component in our therapy process. Besides direct intervention with the child, we work closely with parents so that they can adopt strategies to continue supporting their child's progress at home. Our Core Values Integrity: We strive to do the right thing for the children and their families. We promote open communication and always keep the children's best interests in mind. Professionalism: We take pride in our professionalism in all areas of our practice and our commitment to providing the best possible care for the children and families we serve. From the first phone call to the last therapy session, we strive to provide top-notch customer care and to make the entire process smooth, pleasant and stress-free. We believe in continuous learning and development. Our therapists participate in ongoing training and education to stay up-to-date with the latest research and techniques, in order to provide top quality therapy services. ​ Empathy: Empathy is at the core of everything we do. We believe in treating each client and their family with kindness, respect, and understanding. We endeavour to foster a supportive environment where children and parents feel comfortable and confident. We strive to understand each child and family's unique challenges and barriers, in order to develop personalized, practical and effective intervention plans.

About Us | OT FOR KIDS SG About Us Established in 2023, we are a boutique paediatric therapy clinic that specializes in providing high-quality professional occupational therapy services for children - helping them overcome challenges, and reach their full potential. ​ Our team of highly qualified therapists has years of experience working with children of all abilities, children with a variety of challenges including difficulties in paying attention, a lack of focus, poor gross or fine motor skills, sensory processing, emotion regulation difficulties, and more. Our therapists are trained to support children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifida, Global Developmental Delay, Developmental Coordination Disorder/ Dyspraxia and more. ​ We work with each child and their family to develop a personalized therapy plan to help them reach their goals. We are committed to providing a supportive and nurturing environment where children can thrive, build upon their strengths and develop new skills. Our Core Belief We believe that all children want to do well and achieve success. There are no 'bad' kids. Only kids who need help. ​ When children struggle with a task, it is not because they 'don't want' to do it. When children display undesirable behaviours, it is not because they 'don't want' to cooperate or behave appropriately. ​ It is because they are not able to do so - due to a lack of relevant skills, environmental or internal stressors, or unmet needs. ​ Each child who walks into our clinic will be treated with respect, compassion, non-judgment and curiosity. We endeavour to uncover the underlying reasons to the child's struggles or difficulties and provide targeted intervention to address the root causes of his or her challenges. Our Approach Our approach is focused on empowering children and their families. We are a family-centred practice. We believe that a strong partnership between families and therapists is fundamental to achieving the best outcomes for the children we serve. Therefore, parent coaching is a key component in our therapy process. Besides direct intervention with the child, we work closely with parents so that they can adopt strategies to continue supporting their child's progress at home. Our Core Values Integrity: We strive to do the right thing for the children and their families. We promote open communication and always keep the children's best interests in mind. Professionalism: We take pride in our professionalism in all areas of our practice and our commitment to providing the best possible care for the children and families we serve. From the first phone call to the last therapy session, we strive to provide top-notch customer care and to make the entire process smooth, pleasant and stress-free. We believe in continuous learning and development. Our therapists participate in ongoing training and education to stay up-to-date with the latest research and techniques, in order to provide top quality therapy services. ​ Empathy: Empathy is at the core of everything we do. We believe in treating each client and their family with kindness, respect, and understanding. We endeavour to foster a supportive environment where children and parents feel comfortable and confident. We strive to understand each child and family's unique challenges and barriers, in order to develop personalized, practical and effective intervention plans.

They have worked every week together for about a year, focused on gross motor skills development and helping our daughter to overcome her fears of certain activities. The transformation has been amazing, not only is our daughter doing things we thought she might never do, but even her teachers are now commenting on how much progress she has made. If you need an occupational therapist then we cannot recommend Wei Kiat highly enough." Darren Thayre., father of E (seen from 6 years old and counting) Our experience with Wei Kiat providing therapy for our 7 year old daughter was really positive. He came to a clinical assessment quickly, which I believe was successful in working out the direction the therapy should take and the goals. The sessions were made to incorporate fun and engaging exercises so she was always looking forward to attend the session. Wei Kiat was also really good at providing feedback and tips to us, plus exercises to work on at home. Importantly he also connected with our daughter’s school, so that her teacher and the school counsellor could better understand the basis for her issues, and make relatively simple allowances for her, which seems to have helped settle her in class, and improved her classroom and learning experience. All in all, we are really happy with how Wei Kiat has worked with our daughter and us, and the results so far. Paul H., father of S (seen at 7 years old) We want to thank OT for Kids and especially to Therapist Ms Valery and Centre Manager Ms Jieying for their support towards us when J was attending OT at the Centre. Ms Valery is a very approachable therapist to both parents and kids, and J was always looking forward to attending the sessions with her. She is very observant towards J to identify areas of OT to work with him on, and actively shares feedback with us. ​ Ms Jieying is also very helpful and responsive towards us in arranging the weekly sessions, there will always be reminders before each session, and flexibility too on occasions when we need to reschedule. The environment at OT for Kids is also very clean and conducive for therapy, with many equipment and activities to keep kids engaged. It was a positive experience overall with OT for Kids! Parents of J (seen at 6 years old) Wei Kiat has been supporting our son for the past 7 months with OT sessions both in school and home setting.
