Occupational Therapy
Supporting children with disability learn new ways to participate in daily life activities and build your independence across a wide range of daily activities.
Specialist therapies and supports for children with developmental delay or disability to build your child’s capacity through their early years.
We provide specialist therapies and supports for kids with developmental delay or disability and recognise the importance of early intervention in building a child’s capacity through their early years.
Our team of allied health specialists will work together with your family to get to know your child and deliver supports and strategies tailored to your child’s own individual needs. Our goal is to support your child’s development, inclusion, learning and health within your home and in the community, including childcare, kindergarten and school. We can provide one-to-one support where and when it suits your child and family.
A key worker may be your main point of contact and will assist to coordinate your services. Key workers can manage links between your child, your family and your transdisciplinary support team (such as a psychologist, occupational therapist and speech pathologist) to ensure a smooth delivery of services.
At every stage, your family are important members of the team, and they will be involved in all aspects of the program and decision making.
