Occupational Therapy Clinic

Does your child have difficulty participating in day-to-day life?

Our Occupational Therapists (OT) look at a person’s life and all of their activities, or their occupations.
A child’s occupations are to grow, learn, and play. These occupations include self-care tasks, going to school or kinder, playing, socialising, and completing fine and gross
motor activities like drawing or playing games and sport.

Your first session will be a meet-and-greet with an experienced clinician. During this session you can tell us all about their history, needs, goals and any concerns or worries you might have. Your clinician will ask questions and work with you to create a care plan to support your family. You can also ask us any questions – it’s great to get to know each other!

After this first session we will confirm if regular sessions are needed – and we’ll look forward to meeting your child and helping them grow.

Occupational therapy

Does your child have difficulty participating in day-to-day life?

Our Occupational Therapists focus on your child’s occupation which is to grow, learn, and play. In your child’s life, this looks like your child’s ability to perform self-care tasks, engage at school or kinder, and grow friendships.

The goal of occupational therapy is to develop your child’s functional skills (like emotional awareness, and fine and gross motor skills) and increase their independence to help them live life to the fullest.

Your first session will be a meet-and-greet with an experienced clinician. We find it’s ideal to chat over telehealth with just the parents or carers – having a little one around can be very distracting while we’re discussing their needs (and sometimes it’s tricky to talk about their difficulties in front of them)!

During this telehealth session you can tell us all about their history, needs, goals and any concerns or worries you might have. Your clinician will ask questions and work with you to create a care plan to support your family. You can also ask us any questions – it’s great to get to know each other!

After this first session we will confirm if regular sessions are needed – and we’ll look forward to meeting your child and helping them grow.
