MyTheraPlayBox was created by paediatric occupational therapists to help parents support their child’s development at home.
We focus on practical tools and clear guidance for everyday skills like fine motor development, regulation, and confidence, so families can feel more supported between therapy sessions and daily life.
Because even when you are doing everything you can, it can still feel overwhelming.
You are doing everything you can, and it still feels overwhelming
You show up every day, juggling appointments, routines, and advice from different professionals. Between sessions, you want to support your child’s progress at home, but it is hard to know where to start or what will actually help.
Many parents tell us this feels familiar:
- You search Pinterest for activities, but most don't work for your child's needs
- You are never quite sure if what you're doing is actually helping
You are not meant to figure this out alone.
Whether you need hands-on tools or expert guidance on specific challenges, there is a way to support your child that actually fits your life.
Choose the support that fits your child and your family
Every family's journey is different. That's why we offer two ways to get expert occupational therapy support at home, so you can choose what fits your child's needs, your schedule, and your budget.
There is more than one way to support your child, and you don’t have to do it all at once.

What Parents Say
-
"It's not overwhelming. Just clear, kind, and actually useful. I feel like I have a therapist's voice in my head now, helping me think through things."
Maya, mum of 4-year-old with sensory processing differences -
"It's exactly what I needed to keep therapy going at home."
Ina, mum of 5-year-old with developmental delay -
"The swimming guide was eye opening. I finally understood why my daughter was refusing to get in the pool, it wasn't stubbornness, it was sensory overload from the echoing sounds and the feeling of wet clothes. Once I could see where her difficulties were actually coming from, I knew how to help. We started with the guide's gradual exposure steps, and now she's comfortable in the water. Understanding the 'why' changed everything."
Sarah, mum of 5-year-old with sensory processing differences -
"Having something I can reference on my phone during hard moments has been so helpful. I don't have to remember everything, I can just check the guide."
Tom, dad of 6-year-old with autism -
"I wish every family had access to this kind of support at home"
Janette, Paediatric Occupational Therapist -
"Finally, a product that understands what we actually need at home. It’s not just fun, it helps my child build the exact skills we talk about in therapy."
Sam, mum of 7-year-old with sensory difficulties
