Occupational Therapy For Kids

Our experienced occupational therapists assess and identify challenges, and work with the kids to help them become more independent and skilled in their daily living activities. We are NDIS registered and our occupational therapists are available to assist children in various settings across cities and regional Australia. This includes providing services in the comfort of their own homes, support for schools, community venues, our various clinics as well as telehealth options. We align our services with the NDIS price guide, ensuring no additional gap fees for our clients.

Ways We Can Help

Our occupational therapy approach is holistic and child centred. We assess each child’s individual circumstances and preferences to develop personalised strategies that address their unique challenges and goals. Our therapists work closely with children and their families to improve their ability to complete everyday tasks, motor skills, cognitive abilities, and social interactions.
