16 Feb Trust Through Play at Rainbow Centre

Sometimes, the smallest gestures reflect the biggest wins.

For Lim Yu Jie, an occupational therapist at Rainbow Centre, success is measured not just by functional milestones – but by moments of connection. A smile. A high five. A child reaching out for a hug.

That trust is the first step toward participation.

Working with children with disabilities, Lim integrates therapy into natural settings like the playground, helping students build confidence, coordination, and connection with their environment.

Her work reminds us: occupational therapy isn’t always loud – it often begins quietly, through presence, patience, and play.
